Something that the author seems to be missing is that traditional complexity analysis (with mathematical proofs etc) is done for Turing Machines which have one-dimensional memory (an abstract tape), and reachable memory is linear with time. Current microchips are two-dimensional, so reachable memory increases square with time. If we had three dimensional memory (stacked chips?), then reachable memory would increase cube with time.

It all depends on what kind of machine you are talking about...

The most recent study suggests that European countries have higher class mobility than the US does. High taxes are not holding their populations back, especially if it results in cheaper medical care and universal education.

I agree that our spending focus is terrible, though.
> There are university Facebook rideshare groups in California that offer that trip for $15.

That's because those are real rideshare groups, not Uber-style quasi-taxis; the additional cost of an extra passenger when you are already planning on taking such a trip is small (at $15, you are well above it, and recovering costs you would have born without the extra passenger.)

That really tells you nothing about the costs when you aren't piggybacking on someone already planning on making the trip.

I disagree. It's simple: if you're crucial to a small company, you're an owner and you get comp like an owner. If you have less than 5%, two options: (1) you're not actually as crucial as you think you are, or (2) you're being ripped off. (Could be some of both!) Buttering up employees and telling them they're crucial is, btw, free. Just like titles. Don't let your boss pay you with free things.

Specifically, Big-O describes the relative performance of an algorithm as the input grows. That's why constants are discarded, and that's why O(n^2) is probably fine if you only ever have very small data sets.

Alright, now down to the ditty-gritty. I realize that you are in a development stage, but I don't see anyone being interested in this unless you build at least one, and have a slick video of it. Don't take me wrong, I am not wanting to rail on the website or the presentation of the idea in such infancy, just stating to gain traction you will have to appear less fly by night.

My main issue here is that a lot of people have wanted to do this, and either failed or given up because of the large amount of problems to solve with a modular laptop/phone/anything of that nature. So either you are naive to how hard this actual is to do because you don't understand it at a high level, or you have solved some very hard and interesting problems, and not taken the time to share how you are doing it or at what level of competency you are at. Either way, the proof is in the pudding, and I wish you the best.
Much like Zork. Zork: Grand Inquisitor (1997) was true to its legacy, but Return to Zork (1993) was lackluster, and Zork: Nemesis (1996) could hardly be called a Zork game at all.

After Zork: Grand Inquisitor, I really thought that Activision finally had a handle on the brand they bought, but then they just... stopped. Until 2009, when they licensed the IP to Jolt Online to make a crap browser game.

So I wouldn't expect much from Activision with the Sierra IP.

The whole reason the EU even exists is because Europeans kept fighting and dying to retain autonomy and sovereignty, and they finally got tired of it. People are afraid that without supernational institutions tying it all together, Europe will return to its old patterns. That would be a disaster almost beyond imagining if so. Modern weapons will make the Second World War look like a fun romp in the park by comparison.

Of course, maybe it won't happen that way. But pointing out that people have gone to war over this stuff throughout history is not really helping.
Globalists and economists are burning through what little remains of their credibility with each failed prognostication.

David Cameron suggested a Brexit might spark WW3. Economists claimed it would decimate the British economy in short order. These same naysayers are still prophesying, this time saying that the collapse is gradual but imminent.

Your average "Main Street" person is tired of being talked down to by ivory tower economists and globalists, and they're responding with support for populist movements.

I predict this will reach a boiling point in the US when Fed monetary policy results in the opposite intended reaction.
Quite literally nothing has happened with Brexit yet -- other than the vote itself. "Doomsayers Stumble[d]" is a far conclusion to draw from the aftermath of an event that hasn't yet come to pass.
This just isn't true. I mean, yes they exist, but the norm is overwhelmingly a single latch with room for a single lock.
I assume many people here are earning amazing incomes, >$100k.

Does anyone else feel extremely guilty about this? When I read about the guy who takes two trains a bus and walks a mile to get to work, while trying his best to save just $1100 for a car, my heart breaks. The work I do is easy - I sit in front of a screen in my own house. When I go to a fast food restaurant and order from a woman in her 40s, who likely has kids at home, I can't help but feel a sense of guilt (and also luck). Even as I earn more money, I feel guilty spending it, so I end up just saving a large part of it.

Not sure there's a point or a problem or something I'm trying to solve, just wanted to share my feelings and see if others felt the same way, and hear any advice or thoughts they had.

Edit: I do take some (perverse) solace in the fact that it seems many extremely poor people across the world seem happier than the average wealthy office worker I know. Add up: long commute + winter weather (and darkness) + unfulfilling work + expenses that expand to their level of income = potentially a pretty unhappy person, even though they are high income.

Edit 2: Reading about how the low earner saved up for a $160 pair of shoes also gave me some warm feelings. Maybe that's why rich people do challenging, but relatively pointless things like hiking mountains. We don't have enough challenges in our daily lives, so we invent them so we can feel good about ourselves after.

The Greece bit of this article is strange:

Warnings abounded in 2015 that if Greece rejected an international bailout, it could spark a sovereign default or a banking crisis or Greece being cast off the euro. Greece’s economy is far from a success story, but it hasn’t gone bankrupt. Its banking system has been battered and drained of deposits, but hasn’t collapsed. It remains in the euro.

But Greece didn't reject the international bailout; it accepted it (despite a referendum voting "no", Tsipras signed it anyway). So this article is arguing: Experts predicted ~A -> B, but since in reality both A and ~B came to pass, experts are wrong. That's... not valid reasoning. Presumably the experts would argue that to the extent Greece isn't (quite) bankrupt, it's precisely because it heeded their dire warnings, and got cold feet about rejecting the bailout package.
The US's "poor" have a higher purchasing power then the median income of not only the EU average but the rich EU member states.

Income inequality means squat when your middle class has more wealth than some of the last decimal point percentiles in Europe.

Europe doesn't have income equality it has income stagnation and it assures that through taxing both you and your employer not only that your income would be on average lower that your post tax income would be considerably lower.

You can be making 100-150k $ in Europe and have almost no ability to accumulate wealth due to the taxation this is not equality this is enforced wealth caps.
If you are old money or corporations on the other hand you enjoy some of the lowest corporate tax rates in the developed world as well as tax heavens and low capital gain taxes all from within the EU or one of its "territories".

> The money is not there anymore

According to the article, "investors are shoveling money into venture capital funds, which raised so much cash in the first half of this year that it rivaled the amount raised in all of 2015."
This is why I don't think a 2001-style crash is coming. A slowdown maybe, but not too hard a landing.

Since 2008 global central banks have made it abundantly clear that deflation in any major asset class will not be permitted. If it begins to occur, governments and central banks will intervene with infinite QE and other actions that will restore "confidence" in the market and prop up the asset. In some cases that amounts to actually entering stock, bond, and RE markets and buying stuff with printed money, or giving printed money directly to banks with incentives to do the same.

Major players in this unwritten pact include the USA, China, and the EU. It's so large you might almost think of it as WWIII, but being fought with monetary policy (mostly) instead of guns. It's not really a classical bubble but (IMHO) more properly thought of as an economic war. The loser of this global conflict will be the first nation or economic union unable to pump any further. At this point the loser will experience hyper-deflationary collapse and will be bought by the winners. Either that or the war will go hot with the loser being forced to substitute military action for economic might.

Startup stock is obviously not on the list of TBTF assets, but it certainly rides on others like stocks, bonds, and real estate. To the extent that startup markets are international, dips will be seen by foreign actors as buying opportunities. Chinese money is already flooding into SV and tech in general. EU money is there as well, albeit more quietly, since right now real yields in the EU are in some cases actually negative and people are looking for ways to diversify more globally. Ploughing some money into high-risk assets like startup stock can be part of a larger diversification push, and the startup world is so tiny compared to the truly massive markets of bonds, stocks, and real estate, that all it takes is a little bit of this behavior to keep the music playing.

Edit: add in the fact that startup crowdfunding is going live and you now have a second firehose opening up. I do think things have gotten frothy but I don't think it's over.
An honest CEO would have awarded stock in lieu of pay.
Look at what's happened to Greece under ECB control. Do you really think a monetary union like the EU will prevent war? If anything it encourages it; imagine having your country's economy ravaged by policy set by unelected officials a thousand miles away.
Willy Wonka (screenplay by the genius Roald Dahl) has one of my favorite scenes in film and I invite you all to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz9jc5blzRM

> In 1970, when originally offered the lead role in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory by director Mel Stuart, the great Gene Wilder accepted on one condition. "When I make my first entrance,” he explained, “I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause." Asked why, Wilder said, "Because from that time on, no one will know if I'm lying or telling the truth."

I was able to "offroad" a bit in my class C RV to get to dispersed camping spots, most of the forest roads were fine. Driving it was also nice since you are pretty much king of the road. Overall, I'm glad I had the class C, especially since I was living with someone else in it. If I were to do a hybrid lifestyle, I would get an offroad capable van (think sportsmobile), but I don't think I'd be able to live permanently in one. I skipped the class B's since they were too expensive

"people have casted more than 38 million times from

Another factor that gives the same limit in theory is gravity. If you have a volume of space and start shoving hard drives in it, eventually the hard drives will collapse into a black hole, and your information density is limited by the surface area of the black hole—again, giving you O(R^2) bits of storage for a volume with radius R.
DIAL/SSDP is not used anymore (except for legacy apps, like the Youtube one). Now, this is mDNS (good) and proprietary protobuf protocol.

I don't anticipate a practical IO bci until after AGI is done. Why? We don't understand the brain's learning mechanism well enough yet and once we do that will be recipe for AGI which will by default see faster growth than individual to individual adoption of these bci. Not only that but a recent poll indicated that the majority of those polled would not get a bci to improve their cognitive ability.

The best way to bridge the human/AGI gap in the beginning imo is with decision based integrated AR. It's not even really a bridge it's a symbiosis.
Just store a bit (for a set) at each internal node, denoting whether a string ends there. For a map you also need a value pointer.

Hashing keys is also easy: add a pointer to a linked list of key-value pairs to each leaf node. To save space you could even use a flag bit and then a pointer to a single key-value pair, or a linked list in case of collision.

Note that you can store tuples directly as the concatenation of their fields; no need to use hashing.
I'm sorry but that is astonishingly ignorant. The EU isn't an affront to the people who have fought and died, it is a project to bring European countries together after a thousand years of warfare and tens of millions of killed in the 20th century alone.

That study was flawed to some extent it wasn't about class mobility it was about generational income.

When you adjust for the massive immigration coming into Europe from Africa and the Middle East and from new member state joining in you get a completely different picture.

Sure you can easily hack the system if you are from Poland or Romania just move to the UK for a few years and when you go back home you move up the ladder.

But when you look at local/native population the picture is completely different.

In the UK which traditionally had one of the highest class mobility figures in the world adjusted for immigration the middle class growing in England was mostly old money running out of it not people becoming richer.

And more importantly when you look at debt and net worth rather than just generational income the picture in Europe as a whole is dire.
The article is still wrong - iterating through a linked list is O(N log(N) sqrt(N)). You can't have infinite nodes in a 16-bit, 32-bit, or even a 64-bit address space - to deal truly with N, one must consider the more generic case of a variable address encoding, which has a variable size (log(N)) and associated lookup etc. costs as the number of nodes grows.

This is the motivation behind e.g. the "x32 ABI" in Linux: All the power of x86-64 instructions, with none of the additional cache pressure/overhead of 64-bit pointers - log(32) being cheaper than log(64).

...ahh, being this explicit in your Big-O notation is probably not that useful, usually, although I've seen it occasionally in papers (where they're quite explicit about also counting the number of bits involved). Maybe they're dealing with BigNum s, which would make it a practical concern? The key takeaway is this:

> That I use Big O to analyze time and not operations is important.

Time depends on compiler settings, allocation strategy, and a whole host of other factors that are outside the purview of your algorithm. Operations is a lot easier to contrast and compare between different algorithms, the meat of what you're trying to do most of the time. Both are valid choices, just know which one you're dealing with.

The time factors are good to be aware of, to be sure - the performance pitfalls of (potentially) highly fragmented, hard-to-prefetch linked lists over unfragmented flat arrays should be well known to anyone charged with optimizing code - but it's probably easier to think of them as some nebulous large time constant (as even array iteration is going to hit the same worse-than-O(N) behavior, although with proper prefetching the bottleneck may become memory bandwidth rather than memory latency) and deal with those differences with profiling and other measurements, instead of Big-O notation.
> The fake wire transfer receipt is fraud. That's a criminal offense.

True. Of course, in CA, not having posted paydays or not paying on the posted paydays is also a criminal offense.

> California has a large prison system, with cell space available.

Well, given that it only just cleared below the threshold set in the long case over unconstitutional overcrowding, and is still well over 125% of capacity, I don't know that I'd characterize it as having "cell space available".
Swapping out the drivetrain for minor issues is great when the car is under warranty. But what about when the warranty is up? What is the bill going to look like to replace all that?

When they start putting in, as you say, refurbed parts that already had 70,000 miles on them, will they really be as good as new?
