Yep, BLM land and campgrounds are some of the most under-utilized resources for getting out into nature. It's not uncommon to be the only person for miles around. There's sort of a continuum of how populated an area will be, based on how it's been designated by the government. What's most interesting to me is that it often has little correlation to how beautiful or interesting an area is. BLM land is kind of like an afterthought for the federal government. They are mostly very sparsely staffed (I can count the number of rangers I've seen on BLM lands on my fingers, and I've cumulatively spent maybe a year on BLM lands), and very sparsely visited.
Exactly, thanks!
You might check out the book/concept called Slicing Pie by Mike Moyer. It addresses situations like this.

The quick summary is to allow equity ownership to change based on work done for the company that is not paid out in salary.

Start with an agreed upon value of the company(example $100K). Everyone has an hourly pay rate.

So if you all do 10 hours and don't get paid your ownership percentage stays the same. But if 1 person does 100 hours of work and doesn't take salary and the other people do 20 hours and no one gets paid actual money then the overal value of the company goes up by 140 hours time pay rate. And your ownership percentage changes based on how many hours you contribute.
Some of it can be explained by trends and name recognition, as other comments suggest -- e.g. you get far more reactions to "We went to the Grand Canyon!" or "we went to Zion National Park!" than to "We hiked to Bluebell Knoll, the highest point of Dixie National Forest!"

But another part is definitely facilities. Being not originally from the US but having been to large parts of it, I was incredulous when I found out that BLM public land literally means just that -- that you can drive onto it and do stuff within reason; this is such a powerful concept that I -- and others -- often don't know what to do with it.

It's definitely an easier expenditure of mental energy to go to a big-name National Park, pay the fee, get the map, go to the Visitor Center, go to the big lookout and vistas, and leave with the magnet and the hat -- and I say this without intending to disparage this style of tourism. I lack the outdoorsy know-how and wisdom to feel at ease on the backroads of the desert southwest (and I live too far away from the backroads of the rugged northwest) where most of these facilities are, and it's a nice (albeit somewhat fictitious) thought that when you stick to the approved big tourist roads at big tourist places, that you're not completely alone in nature at the mercy of the elements.

I remember Joel himself mentioning in some article about how Excel suddenly became dominant over a competitor (Lotus spreadsheets I think) because you could not only open Lotus files in Excel, but you could also save the Excel back into Lotus format (two way compatibility). I am supposing this is because Lotus file format was not complete crap.

If that is true, then isn't it also very possible that MS had an incentive to keep building on top of its cruddy file format without rethinking the design at any point? Isn't it true that even today, there is no viable competitor to MS Office even on non-Windows OS because MS has made file format compatibility extremely difficult?

I am very glad that the latest and greatest features of Office automation after (and including) Office 2007 were mostly still-born and we could stop worrying about this issue and use MS Office as a tool and not as a "platform". It became too unwieldy even for hardcore MS supporters, and even though no good alternatives emerged, people generally decided that the programmability of MS Office had reached its limits - and moved away to other things like replacing them with browser based apps [1] I remember creating an Infopath "app" as a contractor around 2010, and wondering "what is this crap? Have these people never seen browser based apps?"

[1] This is probably a sweeping statement. I would love to hear from someone who is certain that Office automation was a superior technology for a particular use case.

> it's essentially a method for generating ad hoc techniques by the zillions

But in the end, the network is just a single algorithm. Complexity theory doesn't care that from your point of view you consider it to be zillions of ad hoc techniques. Complexity theory tells us which problems are learnable and which aren't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probably_approximately_correct...

> Anyone who writes software for a living knows how bad we are at it, and yet we can do it to a point.

I agree, which is why I think that with enough empirical research there's hope (remember, the point of the talk is that math alone won't help, but empirical research might), but don't expect miracles. What we want is something that far exceeds what we think we know about our programs. That gap between what we think we know and what we actually know is where all bugs lie.

> Naive brute-force search in a space like that would be beyond hopeless

What complexity theory says is that knowledge comes at a price. If you want to know something you must pay that price. Your algorithm for knowing it is irrelevant. Knowing some things about programs can get really expensive, no matter the technique.
Security is definitely something that needs to be thought about, and thought about carefully.

Mozilla's security team is already aware of the project and have done some initial analysis of potential approaches to securing/encrypting FlyWeb. There are multiple issues to work through - and we (the FlyWeb team) will definitely need to satisfy the concerns of the security team at some point soon.

Our collaboration with the security team hasn't begun in earnest yet - mostly because we've been too busy with everything else (basic design, implementation, proof-of-concept demos). For the next couple months, we're just field-testing the basic architecture and trying to get tinkerers and early adopters to play with it. We want to confirm our personal intuition that the architecture and design has legs, and that it lets people build worthwhile solutions that would otherwise have been hard to do.

You're right. To be clear, I've visited all of the National Parks I mentioned, sometimes multiple times, and I've loved my visits, and I recommend them highly to anyone who hasn't seen them. I suspect when I retire I will volunteer as camp host in whichever national parks will have me, and continue my travels. I really love our national park system is what I'm trying to say, but I'm also disappointed at how little most people step outside of the well-trod paths...even to the small degree required to take a short detour to hit up a national monument or forest or whatever. There's definitely a long tail at work; visitors drop off precipitously when talking about places that aren't the really "big" ones.

You’re right though that most indigenous peoples’ dwellings in California were made of wood or mud, and have not survived the past 500 years. The artifacts recovered from archeological digs can be seen in museums, but there aren’t really any grand monuments.

It’s a tragedy, as there once was an incredible diversity of cultures in California. For instance, I’ve heard that linguistically, the pre-Columbian languages in California had more diversity than all the languages in Eurasia. Now almost all of those are extinct or headed for extinction.

All great questions. I haven't done any genuine analysis outside of "this seems fine on my MacBook" which I fully admit is not worth much.

Check out the example app and endpoints app, then load the poorly.json and kitchen sink.json files into a new dashboard. I wouldn't expect anyone to make dashboards that extreme and they all render fine (we're talking upwards of 30 charts, many using webgl for 3d).

All that being said, I will continue to make this more optimized as I can.

“The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.”

> if you're looking for wide adoption

Well... We're not, actually. We're looking to support the needs of Sandstorm.

It's nice if my code is useful to others, and if people want to contribute better Windows support I'll be totally happy to review and merge those changes! But wide adoption of Cap'n Proto (outside of the Sandstorm context) is not part of our business model, unfortunately.

(Note: The poster you were replying to isn't associated with Cap'n Proto nor Sandstorm.)
Why Not?
my brother worked at Mesa Verde. That park is kinda busy.

On the way back east I met up with him and went to see the ruins at Chaco Culture national park (mentioned in the article).

its beautiful but not super popular. Its far away from things and marginally difficult drive. You can stay overnight at a camp ground on site. The ruins are really interesting, but they know very little about the people who made them, and the wildlife is less prevalent, so its not for everyone. All those reasons make it less popular.

I think wildlife is the big draw of the more popular parks.

> You (almost certainly) can!

In theory, yes, but I'm married and have a kid. No way I'd be able to make the lifestyle change. Hence, you're my hero, living the life that I can't :)
It doesn't really though. You have no choice on whether to participate in the market economy, and forming labor unions is restricted. Compared to other developed countries, work hours are long, minimum wage low and holidays short. If you don't work, even if the only work available is horrible and degrading, society thinks it's okay to deny you healthcare and starve you to death. This isn't a necessity, but a moral norm we have, that people who don't work should be punished, by death if necessary.

It's interesting that so many pro-market people claim to be individualists, because the view that the market should dictate everyone's life is as collectivist as it gets.

Looks like you haven't worked on embedded systems. We need to be very careful with sizes of ints here. Not just because we run the risk of overflows, but also because when we create code that may have to be ported from one architecture to another, we want to minimize re-work.

> Notice how smooth the 32-bit to 64-bit transition went?

There are many reasons for that. For most PC work, a 32-bit int is more than large enough. Going to 64-bit should not have affected that at all. When you're working with embedded systems, you're often working at sizes that are the bare minimum that you can live with. You might also get to work on architectures where char, short, and int are all 32-bit wide. Assume something, and the communications protocol stops working. Moreover, the PC architecture itself supported coexistence of 32-bit and 64-bit executables.
I'm curious what type of development activity people expect to see on a feature-complete system?
Deer Park in the hills above Sequim is lovely. The road there was a little rugged last time I visited, but that was years ago so maybe it's different now.

Lake Quinault is also really wonderful, and apparently where the term "rain forest" was coined (by FDR, in the version I heard.)

If you're athletic, the climb up Mount Townsend is well worth it, and the trail is really pretty good.

If you like to camp, drive out by La Push and hike a mile or two north from Mora. Hole in the Wall is very interesting. Be wary of bears there, though. Hang your bacon high in the tree.

Mount Baker has lots to offer and doesn't get as much traffic as Rainier.

If you like it dry, there's a great campground above Twisp (northwest IIRC) that is really nice.
Bing advertisement URL exploit
I wanted to install Chrome on a new computer and used Bing to search for it (http://www.bing.com/search?q=chrome). The top link was an advertisement for a website which was reported as "google.com/chrome" by Bing, but when I clicked through I got redirected to http://www.googlechromedl.com/, a site which may or may not have a reputable download. It's also distributing (or claiming to distribute) an old version of Chrome.

http://archive.is/IBlU0 is an archive of the site, but it doesn't properly handle the advertisement link so you can't actually see where the link redirects to.

This seems like a pretty big security issue. I'd assume that Microsoft would verify that an entity owns a domain name before they allow said entity to register an ad claiming to link to that domain, but that seems like not the case.

I'm not sure how to get in touch with Microsoft. I couldn't find any information about reporting security issues online and I'm just a high school student so I don't have any connections or social media accounts like Twitter. I don't want to sign up for one either, so I'd appreciate it if someone here could get this information in the hands of someone who can fix it.

EDIT: Added a direct link to the Bing search.

The biggest issue is that there doesn't seem to be a simple way to report ad abuse.
Yes, unfortunately.

From the paper: "I hope it’s clear by now that it’s unlikely we’ll find a general useful category of programs for which verification is affordable, as verifying even the most simple computational model, the FSM, is in general also infeasible."

The basic approach of this paper is to generalize the problem until it becomes unsolvable. Others less inclined to claim the problem is impossible have succeeded in verifying some useful systems.

Useful reading:

"Formal Verification of floating point RTL at AMD."[1] After the famous Pentium floating point bug, AMD decided to use formal proofs of the correctness of their FPU, starting from the Verilog representation used to create the chip. They found several bugs, which were corrected before making the chip.

You're being downvoted, but I don't think you're that wide of the mark. I think what's at issue in the U.S. is the proximity of the genocidal acts (as well as the ongoing racism) and the social consequences of honestly addressing them. Italians today don't care about the consequences of Carthage because it's so far in the past as to almost seem fictional. But if you take a more proximate example - say, the Armenian genocide in Turkey - you find a similar phenomenon of widespread denial and/or ignorance.
I've met families who travel; home school their kids, etc. It is certainly do-able. But, it'd require your partner's excitement over the idea, as well. I can see how that'd be a deal-breaker, and would maybe put off this lifestyle until your kid(s) have reached adulthood. That's much more common; thousands of people retire and move into the RV full-timer lifestyle every year.
I've travelled some internationally and realized this phenomenon is magnified inside the US.

If I had to wonder at a reason why, I'd say it has to do with something else I've noticed: People from the US are also significantly more worried about the credence in what they're doing as something worth doing. Best way of that is that other people are doing it. If there's a ranger waiting to take your money it must really be worth it!

The Importance of Annotated Data in NLP
Big fan of what Sandstorm is doing, both with Sandstorm itself and this component. I really want to use this instead of gRPC, as it seems technically superior, but language bindings and adoption across language ecosystems are likely to be a big downside given that (as Kenton mentions in a comment elsewhere here) Sandstorm isn't really interested in Cap'n Proto being widely adopted. All my new stuff is built in Rust, so the Sandstorm team's interest in and use of Rust are a good fit for me. But when it comes to interoperability with other languages, this may end up being a concern compared to gRPC. In any case, I hope to see the Rust implementation eventually replace the C++ one as the official reference implementation.
"Sensible" cuts across a lot of axes. Those comparable tools, for the most part, didn't have the same sorts of OLE wizardry that are really pretty useful for normal, non-technical people. That comes at a cost of technical complexity.
