I was amused to see a small glossary in the back of a volume of Novalis, giving such equivalences as "Verbesserung" for "Amelioration" and "Zerlegung" for "Analysis". I know too little of German to say whether the Latinate vocabulary was deliberately displaced, or whether Novalis was outside the main stream of the writers of his day.
I agree, if you like clever flash photography it really is a game changer.

The only down side to the leaf shutter for me is that you loose rear curtain sync (as there is no curtain to sync with).

I was never really sure if there was an alternative way for Fujifilm to simulate the same effect on the X100 but given their wonderful commitment to updating firmware on even the old cameras, if they could do it I think they would have added it already.
Those network effects would've been the same if he'd launched SubmitHub on a different but equally popular blog.

These arguments make sense, but the duration of the wars was completely different, as were the number of people returned injured (read: mortality stats have greatly improved). Scale is different, but so are the wars. Probably end up with something in the middle?

The latest I've got is that in 2013 over 2.6 Million Americans had been deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq. (That number is obviously higher now).[1]

The impact percentage-wise to those returning veterans with either TBI, PTSD, etc is relatively high:

No data in those articles about labor force contributions and any impacts there - that would be an interesting area to get more data to see how much the wars have contributed to the laborforce issues identified in the article.

I don't dispute the numbers in the article and can't speak to the tragedy of opioid addiction, but whenever I see something like this I am reminded of a friend of mine who never had a job, and never looked, from ages 18-30. He came from an upper-middle class family and his parents basically supported him all those years and he was fine with that. He knows he's lazy and embraced that as long as he could. To outsiders who'd ask why he doesn't have a job, he'd blame it on things like a crummy job market, chronic joint pain, or that he had hearing issues that prevented him from working effectively. He never went on disability though. Finally when his parents' fortune ran low, he had to suck it up and start working and he's doing fine now.

So, I always wonder when reading this stuff, what portion of the sample just has "affluenza" and is blaming it on something else to hide the truth (which, by the way, I don't have a problem with - if someone wants to embrace being lazy and has the means to do it, then go ahead).
What version of Windows do you use? My desktop uses the latest version of 10 (AFAIK) and the shut down button reads something like "Shut Down and Install Updates" when Windows wants to install an update. I also remember 7 having a little orange icon next to the shut down button when it was going to install an update.

Granted, I don't think there's a way to properly shut down without the update in an I-have-five-minutes scenario. But it does, at least, warn you.

This is actually an interesting comparison. There are plenty of open-source "clones" or (more kindly) alternatives to closed-source software, and this is seen as a good thing. What's the real difference between this and these sorts of clean-room hardware clones?

I think almost everybody will encourage the imprisoned to meditate ...about their imprisonment reason.

Joke aside, it's not uncommon to hear former convicts mentioning about "back then" having "time to think". The time (served) does that to a man, be that he either likes it or not. Meditation (exercise) and other forms of dealing with boredom are something that give someone immediate and/or cheap result. Being trapped and forced to think about our own life and about the real things in it, like the prehistoric cavemen next to their camp fire through the winter nights, have a chance to produce something more valuable.

Agreed - except to increase cash flow to get to build >500k Tesla 3 fast enough.

They're climbing a mountain of risk at this point. If the first T3 production year is too low in quality and/or quantity, the rest of the reservations could evaporate, especially as the rest of the industry is finally embracing electric.

A utility version of Tesla X could churn out some hard needed cash.
>The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations.

At what point in that sentence do they refer to the DNC/Podesta hacks and leaks? These statements are crafted by teams of lawyers to get the wording absolutely correct.
"including from US political organizations"? OK, legalese can be pretty wild, but to me, this is totally unambiguous. Which political organizations do you think they could be referring to?

Alright, I suppose there was the Office of Personnel Management breach. Yeah, ok I concede your point.

This flood of information, especially negative information, is one reason why I think time meditating is so important. I find that meditation helps me concentrate on what is important and I feel primed to take care of what needs to be done, as far as maintaining personal relationships, what work is most important, looking after spiritual, mental, and physical health, etc.

This is indeed the worst. By itself it is enough to make me want to switch.

It's not the only thing, though. Win 10 is a decent OS in most ways, but there are too many places where it does things that I don't want and I can't (easily?) change.

I use Windows because I do C# development for a living. For now, it's not practical for me to switch, but maybe it will be in a few years. I'm hoping so.

Really stupid to drive developers off of your OS, Microsoft.
Pedantry: It wasn't a geiger counter because it wasn't using a Geiger-Müller tube.

I don't think you'd see much of a difference even with a decent Geiger counter from a banana. The levels of radiation in food are tiny, and building equipment to measure it is not easy.

Probably if you found decent radiation source, or perhaps took it up in an airplane you'd see a difference.

Well we don't need a TV at all. Or a 2,000 square foot house, or an education. We could just subsistence farm or something.

Your life is what you make out of it. I work hard, think consumerism is dumb, and I generally spend my extra income by investing it. But I also enjoy getting some really great coffee (not necessarily from Starbucks) or watching a really fun TV show. Try not to worry too much about what frivolous things people spend money on, or it'll drive you crazy.
Michael Crichton was right
At scale, all basic income will get you is a cot in an urban dorm somewhere (possibly not of your choosing).

You'd be able to take walks, sit by the river and write in a journal, or do whatever idle activity appeals to you, but it won't be fancy.
I can see how that would work but as a consumer I kind of hate that and look at it as dishonest pricing. Annoying.
> It's a patchwork of different Go libraries, Caddy doesn't implement anything itself

If that were true (I'm not expert but I don't believe it to be the case), why would it be a problem? If it implements what people want efficiently enough and securely it shouldn't matter that it isn't written from scratch. Yes, anyone can tie libraries together, but if you are trying to work on something else you might not want to spend time doing that and resolving all the edge cases that you'll run into along the way.

> like Apache or Nginx would.

Apache started life as a huge collection of patches onto something else rather then implementing everything itself, and many would argue that this history still shows in negative ways at times.

Apache is a great project, but it really isn't a good example to use when trying to make the case for implementing everything in-project as efficiently as possible instead of using external dependencies.

> It's useful but certainly not "proved" in a production environment.

Some have already indicated otherwise on this thread.

Though as it hasn't been around all that long and has relativity recently seen significant internal changes so I'll grant that if you are being very careful you might not consider it mature/refined/proven enough for some production environments.

> if you are already using Go to develop servers, just use the libraries it uses directly.

IF you are already using Go. Many people aren't. I for one don't.

IF it were true (which I don't think it is) that it just strings libraries together

IF it didn't detract from your other ("not writing a http* proxy" based) project goals; because it took zero time & effort to put those libraries together and test & support the arrangement going forward, dealing with changes to said libraries over time, edge cases in their interactions, new and interesting problems in the wild due to odd client applications and proxies connecting to it, ...

I don't use Caddy yet (I have experimented with it and when time permits it will probably become part of my infrastructure at some point soon) so I have no particular axe to grind in support of it (other than it looks useful for my use case due to the relatively hassle free config and automatic LE certificate processing), but your argument against using it is at best flimsy.

Of course you may have registered a throwaway account in order to just troll a bit and get reactions; in which case good show sir, you appear to have achieved your goal!
The reason people don't get the advantage of Docker is because there is a weird (and in my opinion stupid) tabboo against putting all of your deps in one container. This is about 10-100X easier than trying to compose a bunch of containers.

Not everyone can do that, but plenty of people could. Except they don't not because of some actual ops requirement (in many cases) but because they don't want someone to say they did it wrong.

I am assuming this situation has actually changed now I hope and swarm/compose or whatever is built in is not too hard to use?

How would your phone give them access to any of that? All of that kind of thing is inevitably protected by more security layers they won't be able to break, and meanwhile, the phone itself is worth something once wiped. Worse, the longer they fiddle with your phone, unwiped, the longer they risk someone tracking that phone.

They're burglars, not masterminds.
Internet is the great amplifier - if you are interested, you know about many more horrible things going on, unfairness, stupid laws that destroy lives, being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

You are being lazy, stop making excuses for your lack of action. You can help people, you have skills, use them. You will try many things and fail at most, thats life, keep trying. Its the same it was for your father and his father before him and so on. Sure the environment and scenarios are different but the underlying forces at work are all the same. Human civilization only continues because people bust there ass trying to make something useful for other people.

You are 100% correct, society is a giant treadmill, its not really going anywhere, its simply surviving, but it provides an amazing depth and diversity of subjects and fields to explore and find meaning within.

Your problem isn't an intellectual problem, you aren't going to think your way to a satisfying life. You find satisfaction by not thinking about life, by finding things you can do without having to dwell on the terrible realities that are as much a part of life as the transcendent experiences.
It seems pretty easy to me to ignore fancy brands and find the things I need at a good price. If I have a favorite brand, it is Kirkland ;)

I do have some sympathy for people who feel they need a Mercedes car and a North Face jacket, and consistently put themselves in financial peril to get those things. It seems like many are sincerely unable to say no to extravagant spending. Though I don't understand it, I try not to judge.
Just a side note, hedonism is not the same as excess or consumerism: it is the maximization of pleasure over a lifetime. The experiences being sold are not the experiences we enjoy the most.
It's interesting to note that at the beginning of the best periods to invest (the big green regions on the graph, like 1942-1960s or 1980s-2000), the stock market was often not just low in terms of broad valuation. It was just "empty". It had typically gone through many years of very little participation, little activity and low liquidity.

E.g. in 1980 the (Belgian) stock market was pretty much comatose. The typical stock owners were wealthy families, often holding their family fortune as a large stake in a single company. To most non-financial people in 1980, owning public common stock would have been something from a bygone era. They didn't consider it an option.

Rather, people in 1980 were standing in line to buy gold coins. People then feared that Volcker's dramatic rate hikes would cause severe problems. When the stock market sprang to life in early and mid 80s, back offices were often not able to keep pace and doing transactions could be cumbersome.

Compare this with 2016, where central bankers are walking on egg shells to hike rates with as little as 0.25%. Stocks and bonds are more expensive than ever. Yet almost everybody I know has a trading account. Regular people can trade advanced derivatives with minimal hassle. Every time I visit a bank, I see desks and booths filled with people getting talked into investing their savings into various kinds of "high" yielding constructions. Because "TINA".

Feels to me like the worst time to invest. 36 years of buy-the-dip reinforcement learning. But then again I've felt like this for years.
This is one instance where 'terrifying' actually fits, but the real question is what can a regular citizen actually do about all this?

Great work and thanks for the tips! How did approach people for interviews?
I think that you misinterpreted the meaning by a large margin.

The question is about handling the productivity gains. One option would be to use the gains to have more (intelligent, as was proposed) leisure time.

You do not have to work 8 hours a day if the job you did could be done in 30 minutes of work.

You can still keep working for 8 hours (or as it common, more) to squeeze even more out you than was possible before.

There is no explicit need for exponential growth of the productivity or population but for some reason industrialized word tries to maximize the first while the rest tries to maximise the last.

In combination it has lead to devaluation of the human life and our ideals.
>Huge data sets today render most statistical tests useless since no hypothesis is strictly true given enough precision, and the focus on eking the most out of every data point is overkill.

Mind, huge data sets and huge amounts of computing power also make the use of Bayesian methods feasible, which don't have the NHST problem that anything is significant with enough data-points.
Yeah, crazy. It's Fn-Backspace to delete. Uncomfortable and no wonder almost no Mac user know about it. Maybe a reason for the gain in popularity of vim? It's X (upcase) to delete forward there.
Agreed. Making a "dumb" electric car meant going against Tesla that is already making strides toward autonomy. Making a fully autonomous car meant solving new problems that could make-or-break the project.

So yeah, Apple's smart to see if they can even make an autonomous system before trying to make their own car. Make sure all the problems are solvable before trying to solve them.

Agreed. Let's pretend that Apple released a car two years from now, that in true Apple fashion is highly polished, but does not include some sort of self driving functionality while their competitors do. I doubt in that scenario that Apple's car efforts would fare well as self driving is going to change the way we think about cars.
That's a nice find with the variable pitch quad, though it looks like it has serious issues with vibration. Thrust vectoring is another option, as is using 3 blades at 90 degrees from each other. Autogyro's are another design which might work.

However, in the end people have tried a lot of man sized flying designs and for vertical takeoff and hovering helicopters really are about as simple as it get's.

Millennials have to carry that financial burden, but most other generations had to make much bigger sacrifices. I'd take the financial struggles of the millennial generation over having to fight in WW2 and rebuilding the nation in the aftermath, which is what the Greatest Generation got tasked with.

Every generation faces difficult challenges, and the financial issues of the millennial generation are just a matter of national policy. Okay, so some activism is needed to change this. Every generation had to engage in activism to create a more equitable society, why should the millennial generation be the exception? I think the future looks very bright overall, although I can totally see why some millennials see only doom and gloom because of their personal situation.

> Each JAR / WAR is a self-contained application that can run anywhere where there's a JVM (which is pretty much everywhere).

Jar could be self contained or it could depend on 100s of other jars so it is not as straightforward as one assume.

War required a Java application containers to be deployed which is outside a War not inside. Also J2EE deployments can get pretty complicated with its infamous XML usage for configuring anything.

JVM is not everywhere by default or work without config by default for non trivial application. It is complex software which can lead to myriad classpath/ version issues related to jar files if not installed very carefully.
