I agree that feedback loops are indeed sticky. New York has been the financial capital for a long time and is likely to remain so for a long time, for example.

I wasn't necessarily arguing that SF will completely lose its "tech capital" title (though nothing's impossible), just that SF real estate is overvalued and that the craziness of this is likely to soften in the future as multiple factors conspire against it.

... though I do have to say: we are in uncharted territory. I have to reiterate that the Internet is young and is nowhere close to being fully assimilated by the culture. The net makes geographic diversification easier than it's ever been by orders of magnitude, and once more conservative industries adopt it this could have massively disruptive effects.

To give you an idea of how big such shifts can be: in the 19th century something like 90% of Americans worked in agriculture.

An effect of this magnitude could occur in relation to geography and place-advantage. The initial visionaries of the Internet predicted this, but they were overly optimistic about how long it would take. Personally I think they might turn out to be right but it'll take another 10-20 years to fully metastasize.

A maximum disruption scenario would be the "full virtualization" of centers. No more financial, tech, etc. "center" in physical 3d space. These things move to the cloud.

... and yes we are about to grow our team but our new team members are already identified. :)

It is also very convenient to remap up/down keys to not just list history, but to do completion based on already typed characters:

if [[ $- == *i* ]]
then
bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'

Hard to do. The funding landscape doesn't really support very long term AI applications without an associated consumer application as proof. Commercializing AI is quite hard actually and most of the AI projects you see are cost centers for the bigs (Alphabet, Apple etc...)

Novel ML implementations have a lot of R&D overhead and need a (comparatively) lot of incubation before they are effective. Tying that to a commercial success adds magnitudes of complexity that 99% of Venture doesn't like.
That's why I said that even the best bosses can only do so much to make jobs that require convincing people to buy stuff you know they don't need seem meaningful. The reason I linked that article wasn't the bosses who I agree are not the essential ingredient, but the other part, which is why I also have that last paragraph: It does not seem to be the work (load) that is the main cause. I added an edit to the comment, thanks for pointing out the possible misunderstanding of where the focus lies.
If I could buy the Pro version as an individual, and run it on an isolated machine, as I've done with every prior version of Windows I've purchased, I probably would have upgraded by now.

Since they don't offer that, and the non-pro version treats ALL users as imbeciles who cannot manage to keep their machines secure and up to date, and who are unable to decide for themselves if the benefits of participating in usage metrics gathering, voice-operation, and integrated web and local search outweigh the risks and costs, I'll be sticking with Win7.
Oh c'mon not everything on this site has to be riddled with statistics, trials, and evidence of something working. The article gave me a chuckle, and plays on our instinct to gravitate to shiny new things. I think all we need to take from this is not every technical problem needs a technical solution. Understanding your audience, in any product, is crucial; use it to your advantage however you can.
I believe that all schools should have partial liability for the defaults of their students. You make a good point that this heavy-handed regulation of schools by shutting them down can hurt a few people who may benefit from alternative schools.

If all schools were partially liable for loan defaults (say 50%), they would pay far more attention into creating programs that have good job prospects and less on programs that just sound good. They'd also have an incentive to charge a reasonable tuition instead of maximizing the cost based on what can be borrowed. And they would spend a great deal more effort on job placement after graduation. The government would not have to pick and choose what schools to close down.

- Node.js's "callback hell" async paradigm is probably the worst of any popular language/framework today.

- Ignoring the fact that JavaScript lacks static typing, its inconsistencies make it a pain even compared to Python or Ruby. It's so bad that entire applications are written in CoffeeScript and transpiled just to avoid JavaScript.

- NPM is an absolute clusterfuck. It's a matter of "when," not "if" your application will break because a dependency violated semver. Oh, and good luck developing offline.

- The over-engineered UI frameworks and tooling have bled over and poured gasoline on the clusterfuck.

- A community with the attention span of a goldfish

- Scaling is a pain in the ass.

I've found that most people who think Node.js is a good platform lack experience.

If you're just starting programming or you started with another dynamically-typed language, then I would highly recommend learning literally anything other than Node.js. For a HTTP server, try Python+Flask, Ruby+Sinatra, Go+Gorilla,Gin,Goji,etc., Scala+Akka-HTTP, Java+Dropwizard, C#+Nancy, C+libonion, ...

Postman can do that and a lot more as it has a proper scripting runtime. The runtime can be executed outside of Postman too so you are not tied to the GUI want to automate things (with build systems etc.). Chaining as a feature in itself is something we are working on along with speeding up workflows around variables (environments, globals etc.) [Postman founder here]

Although, it's worth noting that most OG Xbox homebrew (that I know of, at least) was made using leaked official SDKs (XDK), not open-source reverse engineered SDKs.

IMO the PSP's homebrew community was the best without relying on leaked SDKs - the open source PSPSDK is very good and was used in lieu of leaked SDKs by almost all homebrew authors.

Fun trick: If somebody is watching you type in your login password or SSH pubkey password, spaz wildly on the keyboard, frantically typing random characters, and then hit ^U and type in your real password.

Then you give them a puzzled look once you successfully log in as if nothing out of the ordinary just happened and say something like "What, don't you have a sufficiently complex password?".
That's a valid reason. So is "I wanna knock some of the BS in my head loose".

I may be close minded, but "To receive the essence of Grandmother's wisdom and understand the psychic vibrations, not within us, but beside us, as I'm guided by the Jaguar riding the Anaconda, who is really the glory beyond our lesser selves, being to us a more perfect realm as Grandmother wishes it through the greater understanding of our abundant vision..." doesn't really sound like a reason.

Not that I'd stop someone from doing it for that reason, but I fail to see how it's the least bit useful and it seems ripe for exploitation.

It is a Catch-22, definitely. At some point you get into the whole "Nuremberg defense" thing.

There is little practical difference between the Black Marias described by Solzhenitsyn and what happened to Freddie Gray in the back of a van in Baltimore. But how can we fix that sort of thing at an institutional level, when supervisors, prosecutors, judges, and juries insist on going easy on the actual perpetrators? That's the sort of question I'm compelled to ask when the FBI comes around, hat in hand, to ask for even more surveillance and enforcement powers.
I think the idea is to go after the distributors and importers; not the end users. They're trying to prevent a commercial industry from growing around it before it starts (just like it did with the "synthetic marijuana" that we now know to be incredibly toxic).

Also, Kratom is already illegal basically everywhere it grows because it does cause many of the same societal problems that other narcotics do. It is known to be chemically addictive and can cause death via overdose or through interactions with other drugs. While a knee-jerk schedule 1 classification is too harsh (I don't think we know enough about it to declare it as having no theraputic use); it certainly shouldn't go unregulated either.

If you leave it unregulated, vultures with no regard for human life will swoop in and start marketing it as diet pills, herbal painkillers, etc. with few regards for its safety or effectiveness. If you regulate it early, you can prevent large amounts of it from flooding the market and start to educate people as to what it is before it becomes a problem. IMO it's specifically a problem because it's so unknown in the West that people will assume it's not dangerous.

It (re)enforces bad programming habits due to its (and JavaScript's) inconsistencies. Its async primitives suck. The tooling is an over-engineered clusterfuck. There are many better options out there for learning-purposes or actual real-world implementations.

You can build this workflow using Postman Collections - chain calls + tests + other logic.
Seems like you could've achieved the end-goal by just warning of the danger and coming across like their safety is your primary concern rather than finding the leaks, i.e.:

"Build 97241 contains a potentially fatal bug that could wipe your computer. If you are using Build 97241, please upgrade it to a more recent build or otherwise cease using this build immediately. We do not care how you acquired this build. We simply do not want you bricking your computer."

My hardware doesn't improve exponentially. In fact, my current work laptop has less memory (8G) than my previous one (16G) or previous desktop machine (also 16G). And it mostly works with Chrome, but I stopped using Firefox because my habit of opening dozens of tabs led to stratospheric memory usages that killed even 16G machines. That was somewhere in 2013, looks like it's even worse now?

If you look for #iamkratom and #savekratom hashtags around the web and read the stories and watch the videos, the worst part of this decision is the kinds of people it will affect. Grandmothers, disabled veterans (such as myself), taxpaying citizens providing for their families. This is not a drug and there is not an abuse problem. I do encourage anyone and everyone to do their own research, and look for the testimonials. The DEA's decision is a very poor one.

No, this is wrong. Thailand scheduled Kratom in the 1940s specifically because it was competing with their opiate trade. People use Kratom to wean themselves off of opiates. Additionally, Thailand is now considering removing the ban precisely because it doesn't have the same problems as drugs [0]. Now, what you've said about regulation I think is important, and something we need to look at. I do agree with that. There are unscrupulous suppliers of Kratom out there, and the deaths the DEA is talking about are mostly from bad suppliers spraying their Kratom with other opiates (most commonly O-Desmethyltramadol). The other deaths all involved mixing Kratom with other chemicals.

Zero. My employer pays 100%. Yes, they are awesome!
I don't think the earth quake risk would have significant influence on prices. They occur too infrequently to be part of the markets psyche, just like the stock market ignores the last major crash(es). But (government) planners would (should) factor it in for things like zoning and disaster planning. If the Hetch Hetchy pipes are destroyed they better have a plan for how to get enough water to all the people in the peninsula for as long as it takes to fix the pipes, for example. If you add a million people the problem (for disaster planners, not for normal people) is much bigger, and they also have to consider some major roads and Bay bridges to be unusable for some time. Those are rare black swan events, that's not part of any normal person's planning, but in those areas still happen often enough for government to have to address those questions.

There also is the issue of how many people can actually be served from Hetch Hetchy (for the peninsula) and the various other places (various rivers) for the rest of the BA. Already Hetch Hetchy is being stretched. The water levels there also depend on the California drought situation. A headline from not that long ago: "Hetch Hetchy levels a major concern for water officials" (http://www.ktvu.com/news/4607391-story)

So adding a few hundred thousand or even more people to the Bay Area doesn't seem to be such an easy proposition and "purely political" to me? The politics sure also exist, but when I follow those discussions as an interested bystander - as someone who used to live there - I always hear the arguments about politics (which are of course true) but I never see things like water even mentioned. I'm not saying I know, I'm saying I wonder that it's not even mentioned. I would happily be educated and find out that those concerns have been solved or don't exist, but I'm suspicious because nobody even mentions them. Even if politics takes care of changing laws and starting construction, is it even feasible, especially the water question? And if I remember the climate model predictions right California will have more droughts than in the past decades (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/20...).

Predictions by a California government agency: http://www.water.ca.gov/climatechange/

Reading just the first few paragraphs on that page shows that they expect a negative impact on just the water sources the Bay Area depends on.

But the delivery is his style. Whether it's natural or not I don't know, but it certainly was an integral part of his comedy, similar to the monotone of Steven Wright (whom Mitch Hedberg is the spiritual successor to, in my opinion).

EDIT: Curiously, Hedberg suffered from terrible stage fright. I find him funny to listen to, but almost uncomfortable to watch because he would often stare at the stage or close his eyes.
> it does cause many of the same societal problems that other narcotics do

This, and the evidence of the failure of prohibition of existing opiate and opiod drugs to mitigate those harms, is the best reason not to prohibit it.

> because reviewing is unpaid labor

Indeed, and that's a strange situation.

I submit that it is immoral to review for a for-profit journal without receiving appropriate compensation[1]. Doing so and then complaining about the extortionist behavior of the established publishers is also hypocritical and/or stupid.

Attempts to boycott a publisher or two have happened before, but they are useless. Scientists are hurting themselves by not publishing in the high ranking journals or by not reading them. Boycotting their exploitative review process, however, would hit them where it hurts and cost very little.

[1] Uncompensated review services for any non-traditional journal are equally immoral, but that's another topic.

After the completely incorrect assessment of MDMA during the emergency scheduling process (ie, both attributing far more danger than was accurate and ignoring the substantial evidence of medical benefit in psychotherapy), we err'd by not immediately removing the emergency scheduling authority from the DEA.

This was Aaron Swartz's inspiration for, “A Non-Programmer's Apology”, where he battles with and ultimately justifies his own decision to favour teaching and campaigning over programming, despite being a talented programmer: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/nonapology

“I am saved, I think, because it appears that Hardy’s logic to some extent parallels mine. Why is it important for the man who “can bat unusually well” to become “a professional cricketer”? It is, presumably, because those who can bat unusually well are in short supply and so the few who are gifted with that talent should do us all the favor of making use of it. If those whose “judgment of the markets is quick and sound” become cricketers, while the good batters become stockbrokers, we will end up with mediocre cricketers and mediocre stockbrokers. Better for all of us if the reverse is the case.

But this, of course, is awfully similar to the logic I myself employed. It is important for me to spend my life explaining what I’d learned because people who had learned it are in short supply — much shorter supply, in fact (or so it appears), than people who can bat well.”

I don't do any amazon affiliate type stuff as the money isn't great so I can't really help you there. There are things out there that can pull a feed from amazon and display the stuff on your site.

I have done that type of validation before. Often I'll do that if I am testing between multiple offers to see which works best. But usually with affiliate marketing you don't need to do that since they aren't purchasing anything from you, it just redirects to the advertisers site.
