I hope (but don't unrealistically expect) that Musk can keep his micro-satellite network free of undue influence by any particular national government or set thereof.

What we need are some new and independent physical layers.

And if we're smart, the "smart people" will keep them to themselves for as long as possible. (Something Musk's network won't be able to help with.)

I miss the inquiring, helpful Net of increasing yore. Enough other people do, too, that I haven't given up hope it may find a home somewhere.
(I am not an economist, never took a class in economics, but am interested in the field and like to read about it, so talke all of this w/ a grain of salt)

It is not so much about questioning economics 101 principles as much as questioning their validity in the various economies. Taking the example of comparative advantage and more general trade theory, there are well known, respected economists (e.g. D. Rodrik) who have argued against the scope of their validity.

There also seems to be a debate about how 101 is taught in schools, see e.g. [1].

Yeah, I'm confused as to why Braintree would ignore us. That's why I'm using Stripe.

Why do you think that you have the right to own money? Those money aren't fairy money, they're money that came out of a government mint.

You only have a natural right to the things that you make with your hands. Money that's handed to you is not a right, it's a privilege.
"In my experience, people who want to have access to economical transport without sinking money into depreciating assets take a bus"

More people, ~2.5 million voted for her. People vote, counties/states do not. How would you feel if you simply were born in the wrong part of the country and you're with the majority and your vote didn't end up mattering? To have your vote matter, you need to be in Ohio or Michigan.

> You're missing the point. The voting protocol is built in such a way that you can verify that your vote was cast as intended

No, you're missing the point. You don't know that the crypto was calculated properly, because you are not going to be calculating the crypto by hand. Prove - in the voting booth - that someone hasn't changed the software to give you the wrong crypto token.

> If you have a vote receipt it does not imply you can prove or disprove how you voted, but it does allow you to verify that your vote was included in the tally.

Do you not see that this is is a contradiction? Someone coercing you simply demands that verification.

> HTTPS and the green-lock-thingy

TLS doesn't rely on the public understanding it for legitimacy. The public doesn't care about how it works; they care about if it's a reliable security feature. Legitimacy is lost if there are too many public failures.

Voting requires an understanding how the winner was decided. Your proposal will never be accepted if it is, in the eyes of the general public, a black box you submit your vote into that is only interpreted by a priesthood that they have to trust to interpret the votes. Adding up votes is understandable, but homomorphic encryption might as well be black magic.

This understanding is more important than ever, because we are currently experiencing a revolt against technocracy. Brexit and Trump are aspects of this revolt. If you think you can get the population to accept a voting protocol they don't understand, then you haven't been paying attention to the current political climate.
"Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;

You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home."

Definitely. I'm waiting until the engine fails in my 15-year-old jeep to purchase a new car, but as that's close on the horizon, the only consideration is which EV. Not buying another carbon-emitting vehicle if I can help it.
Oh definitely. I think the point is that the trend in automobile sales is toward a vast majority of new sales being electric cars, just as the trend in phones is towards smartphones[1], and those smartphones overwhelmingly resemble the first iPhone.

Rust has been self-hosted for a long time. But that doesn't really matter anyway, because the language used to write the compiler has no relevance[1] to vulnerabilities in the compiled code. What is more important is the language the runtime is written in, and Rust's runtime is written almost entirely in Rust (offhand the only parts I know of that aren't are compiler-rt and libbacktrace).

[1] Reflections on Trusting Trust isn't relevant here, we're not considering someone trying to attack the compiler.

But building muscles and stamina is critical for recovery and walking/workout is something almost everyone can do. Running is much much harder, it takes a heavier toll on the body and when starting out your more likely to get sick etc.

I think in a "normal" situation a government could fund programs that will help citizens understand how to deal with this relatively new phenomenon (ubiquity of fake news). The problem is approximately 50% of the US doesn't trust its government, and they also don't trust "elite" groups to teach them anything.

The lower class (and quasi-illiterate) citizens of this country (US, and probably many other countries) are becoming empowered and vocal members of society at such a rapid pace it is eclipsing our ability as a society to prepare them in such a way that the rest of us can trust that they will take this responsibility seriously.
Self driving cars will mean the huge shift. As rehashed many times, most people won't buy a car but rather use it on demand. Right now a car is driven perhaps 15 000 miles a year which means probably two hours a day. This will jump to 12, perhaps 18 hours a day. Maintenance costs and reliability will be king and electric cars are huge leaders in that.
I'm aware the misnaming was common, but it's a bad idea to do so. There's a pretty big difference between a T1 and a PRI in practice when used as a data only circuit. For one, the T-1 is a fair bit faster.
Hydrogen powered cargo ships have already been made as well. However, I'm not sure if hydrogen generation on board ships has been explored yet. Who knows... it may be possible for ships to run without ever needing to refuel if generation is done on board.

Sorry. Go back and study thermodynamics again. If you have the energy to generate hydrogen, you might as well use that energy to move the ship. You're always going to spend more energy generating the hydrogen than you will get back burning it or combining it in a fuel cell. The one exception is if you start from just the right feedstock to generate the hydrogen from, like some hydrocarbon. The leading candidate now is natural gas. However, in that case, the byproduct is CO2 -- so what's the point?

Or, maybe you were thinking of hydrogen as energy storage? Batteries are far better than hydrogen as far as that goes.

Neat visualization. I feel it's important and eye-opening to note that there's not just one way to multiply matrices, there're five (according to Strang):

5 ways to multiply A B = C

1) Each element of C is a dot-product of corresponding rows of A with columns of B

2) Each column of C is a combination of the columns A. Each column of B has the coefficients.

3) Each row of C is a combination of the rows of B. Each row of A has the coefficients.

4) Accumulate outer-product. Accumulate sums of of outer-products of each col of A with each row of B.

5) Block multiplication

They all produce the same answer, but different ones provide different insight for particular situations.

I'm betraying a fundamental understanding of your point :)

Is this what you mean?

The Washington Post (along with the Guardian) was one of the first publishers of material leaked by Edward Snowden as part of its new reporting function. The Washington Post, as part of its editorial function, also published an editorial[0] arguing that Obama should not issue a pardon for Snowden. Therefore, the Washington Post cannot (or should not, or has no credibility to) publish an article on Trump and net neutrality as part of its new reporting function because it's position on issuing a pardon for Edward Snowden is inconsistent with freedom (of speech).

I'm not sure which freedom you're referring to. Freedom of speech or freedom of the press would be the likely ones, I think.

If that's not a fair summary of what you mean, please feel free to correct or expand.

As far as I'm concerned, markets should be put on a stepped clock with randomized queue processing. Said queue blind until processing. Then put the resources spent chasing the clock to better use.

A one minute interval seems appropriate. Plenty real-time enough to deal with most real world events and needs, while eliminating arbitrage based upon momentary, naval-gazing analysis.

Markets already belie the trope of an (entirely) "free market." At least level the playing field between moneyed quants and the rest of the world.

100% vim in a terminal (with gnu screen, naturally). it tends to be installed on just about every machine I am called upon to admin or work on. I even do day to day development in a term window because I like that when I shell into a server at 3am to fix something, it feels The Same As Always. I keep a fairly complex vimrc up on a public repo so I can have my config anywhere at a moment's notice.

I think I only chose vi over emacs (those were the only real options when I learned) purely because I couldn't figure out where the 'meta' key was. first big breakthrough was getting really good at jumping around files without a mouse. second big breakthrough was mastering multi window mode and keeping lots of buffers open like an IDE.

it might just be junk psychology, but I hate every IDE I have tried in 20 years because I can't tolerate the non-instant startup or the code not getting 100% of screen real estate.
"The lesson that a lot of anti-Trumpers appear to have taken away from this election is that the electoral college is bad because it lets people who don't live on the coasts have a say too"

I have no doubt that marijuana helps a great many people with their anxiety issues, but I recommend caution if you've never tried it before. Search for marijuana/weed in r/anxiety and you'll find many people that think marijuana made their anxiety worse, or caused it to manifest after a bad session.

As somebody that was diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder a couple of years ago, I've personally never tried it to see what the effect would be for me. Exercise, being honest about it with my spouse, and a "goal-oriented life" has been crucial to beating my own anxiety, so much so that it rarely affects my life anymore. In fact, most days I don't even think about it, which would have been hard to believe when it was at its worst after first being diagnosed.

Just to be clear, I'm not against using marijuana at all. If it helps your anxiety, great! I only write this as someone that frequents r/anxiety and has witnessed people there writing about both the good and the bad of marijuana.
I'm going to attempt to bring this back to a positive and constructive conversation.

From the sounds of it we are all devs here. And, as experienced devs, we all know that saying "you just have to ..." will be your famous last words.

Adding more servers, as many of you will know, only works up to a point. From there you have to further build out databases, redis, memcache, load balancers, etc. As much as we like to fantasize about a "go faster" button which just adds more compute, often the amount of memory or CPU you have isn't the bottleneck.

When it comes to sharding, you're not wrong. Sharding off of a primary key is something that is easy to grasp. Hell, it's not overly special (especially these days). However, that doesn't mean it's easy.

This is really exciting. I previously worked at a startup for that could have benefited enormously from even 90% accurate speech recognition. As of six months ago when I last looked, there were no open source speech-to-text libraries with anything approaching the performance of the proprietary work by Google, Microsoft, Baidu, etc. The closest thing was CMU Sphinx, but its accuracy was unacceptable.

Props to the author, and especially to the DeepMind researchers who published their work! I look forward to living in a world where this type of technology is ubiquitous and mostly commoditized.
You’re right. Flexibility on your payment infra is key here and no merchant should be that dependent on a payment provider.

Another reason things will change fast is that, like film cameras, gasoline cars have a long logistical tail. As soon as they start to fall out of favour, there's a feedback loop. Suppliers and mechanics close close. Fuel prices rise as fixed costs are amortized over fewer buyers. Gas stations are further away. You can't get the fuel or parts, who'd want a car like that? And so more suppliers close.

Even if you are stuck with a gasoline car, can you keep it running? Many of those two billion cars will end up scrap or modified with converter kits.
