We can't know what he is thinking, but I can imagine him feeling stressed if he want's to maintain his life style has a few children and wants to retire very early. It requires a big big nest egg to provide an income of around a million for the 50 or 60 years that either he or his wife will live after he stops working.

Retiring in 15 years requires quite a bit of investment every year if he wants to roughly maintain income at retirement, and many people would hope to be better off over time. Depending on how much risk he is willing to take, he might need to invest as much as $400,000 per year!

For such an early retirement he might be seeking an eventual portfolio of as much as $30,000,000 before he retires. Right now you can't count on much more than a couple of percent above inflation return on investments without taking risks that he might not be comfortable with.
The American/Allied victory in World War II is the responsible for most of the relatively peaceful world situation. A cooperating West Europe resulted from this.
I grew up poor. I think part of the reason I've always been a fan of that film was because Charlie was the first poor kid I had seen in a movie.

> Does anyone else feel extremely guilty about this?

Personally, I don't.

In life, luck is always involved. Some people are born with rare diseases. Some people are born with physical attributes that make them more desirable by their preferred sex. Some people are born as an ethnicity that gives them more social power than others. Some people are born smarter than others. Some people are born more susceptible to mental illness. Some people are born into very rough families. Etc.

I suppose I don't feel bad for having what I have because quite frankly, other people who may have less wealth than I certainly have life advantages over me to which I would certainly not expect them to feel guilty about.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense. So the solution is to impose a random ordering on the (1-100 random numbers assigned to the) boxes that ensures you will return to the first one you picked, and that the one that points to your initial pick (or your initial pick itself) has your name in it.

This ordering then partitions the boxes into cycles where each prisoner is in their cycle, and has a low chance of having 50-sized cycles.

Still mesmerized at how the choice of query can improve your chances like that without accumulating information.
I'm not aware of any socialist economy collapsing simply due to mass underemployment. Most socialist ex-economies collapsed primarily due to the effects of the end of the cold war. They were generally already devastated by WW2. It is by no means certain that a capitalist economy would have fared any better.

Not that it necessarily matters, since most "socialist" economies didn't really have anything like a basic income. The closest was probably the USSR, where everyone was notionally guaranteed an income, but only because everyone was guaranteed a job, and voluntary long-term joblessness was illegal.

The fact of the matter is that there has never been a country-scale attempt at implementing a basic income. Nothing even resembling a basic income has been employed in a country that didn't also have its economy devastated by war - whether civil, cold, or world. The small-scale trials of basic income have had either neutral or positive outcomes.

Unless you've got a scam-y job I don't see why you should feel guilty.

Nothing wrong with the top end of things. Would be good to have some kind of basic income in place to help patch things on the bottom end.
Vivendi Games (owned by Vivendi Universal, the huge french conglomerate) bought them (they also owned Blizzard, amongst others), then VG merged with Activision and were in majority control, then Vivendi (parent company) decided they wanted out of the gaming business to focus on other ares (one being telecoms) and sold their shares to Activision, making a nice profit.

In what is one of the most Vivendi "we don't know what we want to do" event, just a couple years later they then decided they wanted to sell their main french telecom company (SFR) and at the same time bought Gameloft and agressively bought Ubisoft shares (the two biggest french video games companies).

What? No! (Sequential) algorithms are usually analysed in the Random Access Machine Model (RAM model). That's a machine that can access any memory location in constant time, and perform arithmetic operations in constant time. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_machine

A Turing machine can only go left or right one cell in each step, so e.g. comparing two strings for equality takes O(n²) time as you have to go character by character, moving the head over a suffix of the first word and a prefix of the second word for every character.

That's not exactly true. He could have done the build-out in plenty of other manners, some less efficiently. With some extra money, he might have had it done more quickly, even.

Camping out during the build time, or getting a hostel/hotel for 40 days, renting a room, building it ahead of time, etc. Lots of reasonable options.

I noticed on some page he mentioned "focusing on building less expensive homes" and then pointed at tumbleweed homes, they build those "tiny homes" on trailers. Those things go for like 3x the most inexpensive mobile homes.

We've already solved this problem, we're just changing the paint to avoid the social taboo.

Some context:

SoundCloud recently removed its groups feature, which a lot of bands and music producers used to share their music with new listeners.

The loss of this feature is especially painful for small producers and small bands, who don't already have a large established following, and so rely on this feature to get exposure for their music.

A lot of people are upset about this, and that's what this petition seeks to address.

Big-O notation is there purely to compare one algorithm to another, yes. But in terms of what?

Say you have two search algorithms. For a dataset of size N, Algorithm 1 does N memory reads and N data compares. Algorithm 2 does N * (log N) memory reads and log N data compares. These are not real algorithms, just illustrations.

It's not uncommon in the analysis of such algorithms (both searching and sorting) to only consider the number of data compares and assume memory reads are completely free. So that would give you O(N) for algorithm 1 and O(log N) for algorithm 2.

Analyses with more sophistication will note that a memory read is not in fact free, and will look at the number of "operations", whether those be memory reads or compares. In terms of the number of "operations", algorithm 1 is O(N) and algorithm 2 is O(N log N).

These are both true statements about these algorithms: Algorithm 2 is O(log N) if you look at number of compares and O(N log N) if you look at number of "operations". Which of these characterizations is more relevant to you? Depends on whether memory reads are actually free in your setup.

Anyway, the original article is arguing that for the comparison most people care about, wall clock time, even the more sophisticated version is wrong, because it assumes that the time needed per operation does not depend on N, so you can just count all the operations and not worry about their relative speed, because that's just a constant factor. If the time taken for a memory read _does_ depend on N, then you can't do that. For example, if you want to look at the algorithmic complexity of these algorithms in terms of clock cycles, and a compare is one clock cycle (might not be, depending on what your data is!) and a memory read if sqrt(N) clock cycles (due to caching effects), then the complexity of algorithm 2 will be O(N * sqrt N * log N), whereas algorithm 1 is O(N * sqrt N).

Of course once you're caring about actual time very often constant factors start to matter too, and the whole idea of doing asymptotic analysis might break down. But it might not. It really depends on your exact problem and on the assumptions underlying the asymptotic analysis...

My first job was at a Wal-Mart. My second job was at a meatpacking plant, because it simply paid better. My third job after busting my ass at home was doing web dev, back in the late 90s, in which I was hilariously underpaid. Today I'm a self-employed data warehousing and database performance consultant with no shortage of work and paying myself about what the Junkluggers guy does.

There's a way out if you bust your ass and do nothing but obsess about finding something better. Takes a while. Sometimes it takes 18 months just to stumble into an opportunity worth pursuing. Though if you don't put in the effort (and get a bit lucky), nothing changes.

One thing I definitely took away from that article? Holy crap am I frugal. I save a large multiple of #2 for retirement (Solo 401K and IRA maxed every year, with a bit extra on top in a taxable account), and spend about on par with #3. Granted, I've earned what I got so I don't squander it.

As for #4's commute, I've done similarly bad recently, albeit voluntarily. Walk to bus station, take bus one. Transfer to second bus, then walk two-thirds of a mile. About 100 minutes each way, and an average of 3 1/2 hours a day. I could save a wee bit of time with other options (not including car), but at 50-200% increased cost, so I maintained the frugal option even if it cost me another 30-40 minutes a day. Though it does mean that you tend to wake up at 5:45AM to make breakfast and then get to a client for 9AM, to then get home by around 7PM and hopefully have eaten and finished any chores by 8PM. You are beat. It's not easy to then put in extra effort to get other things -- like looking for a better opportunity -- done.

Whilst that may be true until you can prove that that applies to this particular problem it doesn't provide any reason why the typical approach to resolving dualities should apply. Come up with a super theory that contains them both and shows them to be manifestations of a common phenomena.

> Does anyone else feel extremely guilty about this?

Not really. I feel like I've put in the time and effort (along with a little luck) to get to where I am in life.

Unfortunately, life is unfair. While it was nice having parents who supported me, I feel like it's just an advantage in life I was fortunate to have. On the contrary, I'm a short, unattractive, non-white male living in a city that's 90% white; there isn't much I can do in that regards. That's just life.
Do you have any numbers or articles I can refer to to back up #2?

There are actually a lot of investors in the company and it raised a fair amount of money before I came on board.

I won't rule out #1. However, I'm basing that assumption on a lot of inside knowledge of how the company works. It's an evidence based assumption not an emotional one. And it's based a lot on how long I have been here and what has come to depend on me. I absolutely 100% do not think I can move to another company and be as irreplaceable, it is a niche I moved into by being the only one who could pick up the pieces when each of the other people left.

Katie Benner has written some good stories, but I'm suspicious of articles like this, because they insist almost irrationally on finding a trend that they can make a pronouncement about.

The truth is, startups are all over the place. Some are wasting cash, and some are trying to build sustainable businesses, and some are trying to get acquihired. And all of those things are going on all the time.

VCs have raised record levels of investment from LPs this year. And that money will get pushed into the system whether Bill Gurley wants the competition or not.

The people who harp on an impending crash -- and they have been harping for quite some time now -- seem desperate for something to say about tech. In secular terms, tech's star is on the rise and everyone knows it, so the real news would be a crash. But the crash, like Godot, refuses to arrive. Actually, many parts of tech are pretty damn healthy, and moving fast, AI and robotics being just two.

I think the reason Angular2 might be difficult for a novice programmer is because of the nature of problems it tries to solve. It is an MVC framework with an emphasis on dependency injection and test-driven development. A novice programmer probably has at most a limited understanding of MVC, dependency inversion, and TDD, so you would need to learn more about those concepts to even work through the tutorial. Taking that into account, in may or may not be the right tool for the job depending on the problem.
[Note: MindGeek = the pornhub network]

Short version: That's a video streaming websites which is rather simple, yet bandwidth intensive.

Outsourcing the caching and video delivery means MindGeek can do with little servers and a few locations.

Nonetheless the CDN you're outsourcing to does need a lot of servers at many edge locations.

Actually, if we think in terms of "top bandwith users in the world". It's possible that your company is far from being in the list. It's likely dominated by content delivery / ISP / and other providers, most of which are unknown to the public.

A lot of companies do lose their keys that way. www roots, gists, hardcoded in products, github history, etc.

The win to rotating them is not so much because you'll be regularly evicting attackers you didn't know had your keys, but because when you do have a fire, you won't be finding out for the first time that you can't actually rotate them.

It also forces you to design things much more reliably which helps continuity in non-security scenarios.

After redeploying and realizing that Todd has to ssh in and hand edit that one hostname and fix a symlink that was supposed to be temporary so the new version of A can talk to B, that's going to get rolled in pretty quickly.

The article is incredibly disingenuous.

For example, the FTSE 100 rose largely because of the fall of the pound (which has remained low): most of the FTSE 100 companies have income largely denominated in non-pound currencies but are themselves valued in pounds in the FTSE. So a fall of the pound immediately makes them more valuable, measured in pounds.

Other effects were ignored, for example last I checked commercial real estate was hit hard, and all of the commercial real estate funds closed down post brexit. The London private property market was also hit, with the market nearly stalled despite a retreat on prices.

And that's all before Brexist has actually happened, when most people didn't actually expect it to happen and therefore contingencies are only slowly coming online (and many won't until we know that the trigger will actually be pulled and what the consequences are).

Then there is the classic use of a non-zero y axis.

Or the use of Grexit, which didn't happen. So maybe the dire consequences that were predicted didn't happen because the event that was thought to precipitate those consequences was averted??

Geez.
> When a company has just started, they may have not set this up.

The correct (and only non-criminal) order of operations is (1) figure this out, (2) start hiring employees.

If you can't calculate withholdings and all those other things that get listed on a paystub correctly (which is the only thing that would stop you from generating a paystub), you are breaking the law (civilly and perhaps criminally under federal and state tax and other laws, that require the withholdings, deductions, etc.)

If you don't (in California, where this occurred) have posted paydays with at least the legally specified frequency, or don't pay employees on those paydays, you are breaking the law (criminally, under state employment laws, as well as possibly civilly.)

So, if you haven't figured this out, you have no business hiring employees.
The point I'm making is that it could grow 100 times and it still pales against other risks.
