This is why I'm a big fan of Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right. The book's emphasis is on the concepts behind the calculations rather than the calculations.

I could never learn mathematics that way, and goodness knows, school systems in both Europe and America have tried to teach it to me that way. What I understand of mathematics today has mostly been achieved through autodidaction.

Some of us cannot, repeat can not go from the abstract to the empirical; I'm one of those people, who have to go from the empirical to the abstract instead. I need to see the mechanics of it, because I learn by observing the pattern. If I cannot make out the pattern, I cannot comprehend the abstraction.

Take UNIX manual pages for example: the first thing I go to after reading the SYNOPSIS is the EXAMPLES section (and since most GNU/Linux manual pages have no EXAMPLES sections, it's a product which is useless to me, unlike UNIX). The more examples the EXAMPLES section entails, the faster I'm able to grasp the concept. Same with http://matrixmultiplication.xyz/, if I could have learned matrix multiplication that way, visually, instead of having to do it in my head, it would have been far easier. The other way around, it was a slow, painful torture, and to this present day, I cannot multiply the matrices in my head, or without these visualisations to remind me of the rules: they're too complicated for me to keep in my head.

The point I'm trying to make is that not everyone learns the same way, and our brains do not process the information in the same way, even if the final result, understanding of the concept, is identical. A lot of abstract concepts which are difficult to reliably repeat, or whose outcome is either non-deterministic or unclear, we do not even understand the same way, hence opinions often differ by a small or large margin. Don't assume that the learning technique which works for you would work for someone else. That's a major failure of most pedagogical approaches, with the exception of perhaps Montessori and Fröbel. Unlike Montessori and Fröbel, most pedagogical approaches force a uniform way of learning, except that a human brain does not learn in a uniform manner, differing from individual to individual instead. Teaching should be a highly individualized approach.
It depends what you mean by lost their way. But ATI has nothing to do with it. Bulldozer was a failure, it was a perfect storm of Intel's best execution since the Pentium 4 Ghz problem and AMD's worst execution. When Intel took a misstep, it cost them 20% of market shares. When AMD took a misstep, it nearly killed them. You could argue without ATI, AMD would properly be dead by now. And AMD CPU was literally uncompetitive even with price reduction for the past 5 years. And they totally miss the boat with the desktop to laptop transition. While Intel, after hitting the Powerwall with Pentium 4 and fortunate enough to have had a team working on a architecture specially for laptop, the original Pentium M, pick up speed in that direction.

But like others have pointed out, I believe it is a operational, internal struggle, and basically a leadership problem.
Yes. The US is very much a blame society.
Beyond this specific case, the problem is the unfair competition for human resources between small and big companies. For example, how can you compete with Google for a software engineer? The unfair part is that Google can establish a company in Ireland to avoid taxes while you can barely organize your taxes.

I am not saying there are no ways to compete (e.g. give more equity, sell a startup dream) but that the inequalities are not only between the rich and poor gap, they are present in companies too.

Finally! WTF?
The EU approach of “let’s regulate everything and let incompetent out of touch bureaucrats write the legislation” left to annoying (much more than ads for me) cookie banners and other such nonsense. Starting next year, cookies — i.e. often random nonsense numbers — will have to be treated as personal data in EU. I envy US.

I did something similar in pure JS a few years ago. It's definitely possible to render the image into a canvas and save it/upload it/present as a data uri.

I'm pretty sure the applied css effects should carry over to the canvas.

Recently, I've been looking more into WebGL and what's possible with GLSL shader scripts for image warping (for VR) and image processing/effects. see shadertoy.com etc.
It will take time to erode years of brainwashing. The regime was not only authoritarian / militaristic, but also ideological... starting from an early age in schools. The ruling caste is completely brainwashed and will not let go.
> Mental health issues are not emotions. They may interplay to a degree, but do not mistake clinical anxiety or depression for someone being excessively emotional. It is a medical disorder of the brain that causes it to malfunction. My ending statement is a bit hyperbolic, but not really: dismissing a mental health disorder as emotions is how people end up dead.

This is not true. Anxiety is an emotion. And in a close relationship there is a lot of transference going on. Often avoidance (key behavior with anxiety) is leading to game playing. Emotions you feel, you now as a partner have to deal with. First of all identifying them as not of your own. Just imagine waking up, your partner feeling ill and fearing for their life. You feel some fear too. And that is without even stepping into the wonderland of personalty disorders.

Anxiety can reach a level where it strongly impacts behavior and thinking. A lot of the schools of therapy of mental health therapy (particularly the cognitive-behavioral ones) are built on the interplay of strong emotions and thinking.

If it is all a physical brain problem then outside life events should not be able to trigger it so easily. There is a feeling-thinking-feeling connection and it seems there are often unfortunate persistent feedback mechanisms too. Especially emotional connected mental health issues are reachable these days with targeted psycho-therapy.

For a partner it can be vital to seek out professional support for themselves even or especially if the person with anxiety is not in therapy. As a rule of thumb the healthier partner often seeks help first.

Calling emotions emotions is not dismissing it. Mental health is a general label, emotions is a more specific label and anxiety an even more specific one. The more careful we describe the better we can tackle it. Emotions and in particular overwhelming anxiety needs to be taken very serious. This stuff can kill, that I agree with.

Other states' votes aren't irrelevant without an electoral college. They're just directly proportional to their population. Why is it fair to make Californians' votes worth less than those of residents of other states, just because more people happen to live inside its borders?

Perhaps we should subdivide California into hundreds of "states" to give its citizens more voting power.

No they aren't, the easiest way to get a job is to get really good at something.
They won't pay them more because they're losing their jobs and leaving the country. They're going to earn less in Mexico. Just because they're outside the country doesn't mean they're not human beings anymore.

By the same token, you could say "let's fire all curly haired people". Then we'll see wages rise for the remaining workers as demand meets supply and straight haired people get a good high wage. Sure, that'll happen, but that doesn't make it right or good.

It was the Phoenicians who invented alphabetic writing (well, actually an abjad), not the Israelites, who, as with the Greeks, borrowed and adapted the Phoenician script.
Another choice is SaferCPlusPlus[1] (optionally with a framework like Wt[2]).

Using a higher level language (than C) arguably has the drawback of "hiding complexity" in exchange for better productivity and scalability. But languages like Rust and C++ (with SaferCPlusPlus) retain much of the intrinsic performance and memory efficiency of C, without introducing an additional runtime layer. That may allow you to employ extra (diverse) layers of sandboxing/jailing and other security/correctness solutions.

There's the old parable

The market is also supposed to work by shifting labor from low productivity to high productivity uses. Price factor equalization is part of the market.

One could (and did) make the same argument you are making in favor of all sorts of bad laws - Jim Crow, Davis Bacon, etc. That suggests your argument is probably invalid.
Nice. I consider this a hack though, I think that SVG filters are more suitable for this task.

Lisper didn't claim his observations came from a report. You did.
It's not just that. It's that big business can have economies of scale which allows it to push out each unit at a cheaper price point. This then trains consumers to want things at certain price points which then makes it difficult or impossible to compete with larger companies. Further it is much easier for larger business to get investor money and debt financing, so if they want to expand it's much easier for them to do so than for small business. Also for B2B it's again much easier for big business because most of the spending done in the economy is by big business, and they don't care that much about price as consumers and can afford a lot more because they have lots saved up. So there are many factors that favor big business and shut out the little guy who is doing it because he wants more autonomy in his life.
So how about letting the signalling that money and pricing is supposed to do actually take place instead of suppressing it?

If there is such a problem - and I agree with you that there is - then something should be done about the cause instead of the symptom. Which won't happen if the symptom is successfully suppressed.

So to me the question is, let their be the pain that is meant to be there (signal!) so that something can change, or try to avoid the long-overdue correction. What I see in the real world is different in what I learned in economics 101 in that the signal function of prices is suppressed instead of used as far as the labor market is concerned - but only in one direction ("wages are getting too high!").

I think trying to avoid pain at all cost is similar to when people have a condition that lets them feel no pain. It sounds great but actually leads to self-destruction. Let the prices (wages) rise! Yes it will lead to small businesses having to give up. Either they are not actually needed, or society as a whole undervalues (and underpays) the role of those businesses. Or a mix of the two. Time to find out?

If that sounds like I'm for restricting immigration, I'm actually for much more legal(!) immigration. The problem with illegal immigration is that people are forced to subsist in the shadows. I think this distorts the (low end but similarly for H1 jobs) labor market far more (towards slave conditions and low wages) than the same amount of legal immigration would do, which would give immigrants a perspective and a lot more choices while having to endure a lot less anxiety.

I love the DO NOT READ list in this article.

> Delivering Happiness: It’s solid, Tony’s a smart dude, but light on real tactics and not truly relevant to most startups. More for a corporate crowd I think.

I didn't feel like I learned anything from Delivering Happiness. People have looked offended when I tell them it was a poor book.

> Anything by Gary Vaynerchuck: Gary’s a really nice guy and really smart, but I feel like most of his stuff is rah-rah inspiration and energy. It’s for people who haven’t started, or are trying to find that courage. Not totally, but 80% of it is geared towards those people, not directly operating entrepreneurs.

Spot on. I like Gary, but his books are mostly cheerleading.

> The Fountainhead: Or Atlas Shrugged. Or any Ayn Rand book. I am not even going to make a comment on her philosophy — I don’t care. But I promise there is nothing in here that will ever help you actually start or build a business. It will help you fantasize…which doesn’t help build. And it’s no mistake that the largest concentration of Radians are in politics and finance — two industries built on destruction and taking, not on building.

Atlas Shrugged is among my favorite books, but definitely nothing applicable to people building a business.
What makes you think that it's possible for people to drive and use their phone at the same time at all? Driver distraction is the number one cause of accidents, and when you're driving at 60 mph, even looking away for a second is enough to cause an accident.

Would you be comfortable with a bus driver ever using their phone on the job while driving? Your taxi driver?
Where is the success of capitalism? It's in the rapidly falling global extreme poverty rate, soon to be below 10% for the first time in human history. It's in the cell phone networks blanketing Africa and Asia, giving people access to easy communication and banking. It's in the rapidly rising standards of living throughout Asia and Africa and parts of Latin America not under the communist thumb. Capitalism is the greatest force for improving people's lives that has ever been, and likely to be the greatest that ever will be.
The problem is not a lack of cheap workers, the problem is the low wages. Someone doing hard or unpleasant work should bring home a six figure salary, not a developer sitting in a nice air-conditioned office.

What are you smoking its how the free market works
Maybe, though you might be able to say the same about the president of the US. The people surrounding the leader of any given country I'd guess would be people who have background and links, kinda like a network of trust (I'm thinking GPG here), one you have to infiltrate further away from the target? Families and relations and ties etc. Guessing most political leaders don't hire staff from temp agencies?

In case you completely misunderstood my point here it is again:

"Why are cubans in miami celebrating his death?"

Because they are a group of Cubans who don't like him. There are also Cubans mourning his death. Like all politicians some people liked his policies (because they benefited from them) and will be sad he's dead and others disliked his policies (because they did not benefit from them) and will be happy he's dead. Ultimately what he did or didn't do has no relevance to your question.

This is a ludicrous argument because the process you describe will nearly always happen. If you banned women from working, supply would meet demand, if you banned people from working unless they wore a dunce cap, supply would meet demand. The fact is that you are okay with import controls on labor, which, in any other good, you would say artificially hikes the price for domestic consumers.
You have every option to store your wealth in other assets than USD.
If there is a business need then work in Washington to come up with a solution for legal immigration. This means having people go through embassies to get permission to immigrate. Heck have sponsorship by companies needing the workers or agencies willing to front them. Just like H1B those who come here need to not only be legal but not adversely affect employment opportunities for those already here.
That we know of. Which may be exactly the way they want it, and that may add to the difficulty.
The dangerous SipHash myth
Indeed. Except this time they're searching for real witches who kill real children.
Well, you can speak of how markets would balance themselves. Sure... but in the short term:

- Some people have built their business model on top of cheap labor. You take away the cheap labor, then the business model does not work anymore.

- Some other businesses, rely on cheap products and services. If you make those products more expensive, their business model doesn't work either.

People would say then, "that's a good thing, because now supply and demand, wages go up, prices go up, etc...". Well, not so fast.

Local producers are not alone in the world. Instead of paying more, you will just start importing from cheaper countries. Does that help the local economy? probably not.

How do the results of a single state swing the total "so wildly out of proportion with the state's population"?

The Electoral College is exactly based on a state's congressional representation. California has more people, thus more electoral votes. Each electoral vote represents roughly 700,000 people within a state.

While state lines are arbitrary, states are not: they represent a sovereign entity within the United States much like Belgium is a sovereign state within the EU despite Belgium having arbitrary borders. To think otherwise is to fail to understand what the United States is: a federal system with divisions of power allocated by the Constitution. The interests of the people of Louisiana are vastly different than those of New York -- the system represents that reality.

The more interesting question is if we would have this discussion if Hillary had won? Popular vote does not determine the presidency -- that has been true since the beginning; it isn't like anyone was robbed.

If Trump had lost and Breitbart had conducted some statistical analysis to prove that the vote was rigged, it wouldn't even make it on Hacker News. Every election one side or another tries to justify their losses but rarely does such a justification ascend to high art as it is apparently doing here. Ultimately the bottom line is that the media state-by-state predictions were wrong and now there is hand-wringing to rationalize it. National polls are meaningless yet we continue to subscribe to their irrelevance.

If someone finds something beneficial, it is not a statement on if that particular thing is the right or wrong thing to do.

This is actually not as crazy as is sounds. It's surely just a matter of time until we can run a script or app on a movie file and have it generate scenes it can find. The only issue is interpolating the 'physical' location from the scenes.

Having something automatically detect how it all joins together would be pretty impressive, but not impossible, with plenty of horsepower.
I have and the worst sink estate in London is nothing like as bad as Havana, at least not in terms of the physical infrastructure. Crime is probably worse in London.

I feel big companies are betting on everything, just because of a fear of missing the opportunity, you need to have: cloud, AI, custom chips, own OS etc.
Yes, the free market is supposed to work by shifting labor from low wave places (e.g. Mexico) to high wage places (e.g. USA) and causing wages to equalize between those places.

Similarly the market should shift oil and iron from low value places (in the ground) to high value places (e.g. in a steel beam or gas station).
There is a proven lower bound [1], though.
