I'm from Minnesota in the US.

I felt like I was stagnating in the US. I wanted to pursue computer programming but I didn't study it in college and didn't quite have the skill set to succeed professionally at that point. My original plan was to buy a van, drive around warm parts of the US, and live cheaply while I studied for a year or so. Then I realized that I would have a lot more runway if I went abroad. Three weeks later (on the day of my 25th birthday) I was in Cambodia... for absolutely no planning whatsoever things have turned out very well. While low cost of living was originally the main reason I chose to live here, now there are many things that would make it hard for me to go anywhere else. I have become a different person here and living a very simple lifestyle (80$ per month apartment in an ultra densely populated neighborhood, no hot water, no AC, no TV, walking everywhere, eating only healthy food, exercising daily, etc.) has fixed most of my numerous neuroses :)
OK and what's the failure mode if broad GDP growth remains stagnant, but the narrow real estate market continue to grow and increasingly unobtainable? Does it fail or does it in effect behave as two economies?
You know the drug busts, and shootouts, and car chases from the drug war. Yea, cops are there too. They have to be the enforcers for the crap laws that get passed too. It's the same thing for soldiers, they fight wars other people declare.

If you pay taxes you support this system financially. Don't live in the US? Does your country trade with the US? Someone somewhere is almost somehow contributing to some problem. You also neglect the good cops do, doing the job means you do all of the job. From being first responders to drug enforcement.
Why wouldn't fruit juices contain fiber? Say I put an apple in my mixer grinder, add some water, grind and mix to create apple juice, what part of this mixing and grinding process would get rid of the fiber?

As far as I understand, the fiber should still stay in the juice because I did nothing to take the fiber out of this mixture.
Agreed - Vancouver is a truly amazing part of the world. Unfortunately the cost of living reflects that.
I prefer to code in my highly customized emacs configuration when not coding in something that benefits unusually from an IDE (Java). Many people do this, though they seem to be decreasing in number somewhat - seems like younger interviewees increasingly haven't even heard of vim or emacs, somehow.
When the block rewards decrease, the transaction costs will necessarily have to increase. Right now, the block mining reward dwarfs the transaction cost (effectively subsidizing it). So what increase in transaction volume (relative to capacity) will have to happen in order to keep transaction rates so low? Right now, it looks like there needs to be an order of magnitude volume increase for mining interest to remain.
Wait, you mean the "autopilot" intentionally breaks the law by driving in the left lane not for passing purposes? That's... not good.
Well that would be true if things were normal, like 10 years ago. But the rate of return on real estate is much higher than the rate of return of say the S&P 500.
Google Apps (now called "G Suite"). $5/month, stable, "just works," and via Google Docs/Drive you have a CRM solution.

Alternatively Office 365 Business Premium. $12.50/month (12 month minimum commitment). Only reason you'd consider this is that it includes Email, Office Desktop Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc), and CRM. Essentially you'd merge a couple of bills into one bill.

Both are alright support, good uptime, great vendor support, good scaling, and migration strategies (in and out).

PS - Yes, this is the "boring" and "obvious" answer but sometimes things are "boring" and "obvious" for a good reason.
I suspect that based on current course and speed, there's only room for one winner in the coin space.

I know the ideal is that we can decide for ourselves, but the reality is that in most things in life, we lack the expertise.

I'm not a plumber, doctor, police officer, etc. Sometimes they are obviously right or wrong. Otherwise, I can try to second-guess them based on some limited or amateur knowledge here and there, but I know that when laypeople try that in regard to my profession, it very rarely helps them and can be a recipe for disaster. They don't even know what questions to ask.

In the end, IMHO we have to decide which experts to trust - this plumber or that one; this subterranean urban transport engineer or the other one. Thanks to the open societies in modern democracies, plus modern communication, we have a plethora of experts and voices to choose from, but it ain't perfect.
Did you just make me doubt myself? :)
I use Zoho Vault free plan. Very much happy with it.
I recall doing a proof of the form:

1. Prove the triangle inequality, & extend via induction to show that [A] a straight line is the shortest polygonal path, and that [B] adding a point to a polygonal path can only make it longer.

2. Arc length is defined as the limit of the length of a polygonal approximations to a curve. From (B), we know our approximations would approach the arc length from below.

So if an curve A->B has an arc length, there's a polygon A->B which is at least as short. And from [A] we know there's no polygon shorter than the straight line.

This is weaker than proofs you can do with calculus -- it doesn't prove uniqueness, and it completely ignores non-rectifiable curves, for instance. But I suspect that's what ams6110 is remembering.
Keep in mind that as an individual you cannot have a near-million dollar leverage at a relatively low rate to buy other investments.

> "Flow" seems to help a lot.

They are related but opposed concepts. I see flow as performing whereas learning is growing.

For me, learning feels like the opposite of flow - you are stuck and the mental difficulty is so bad its like physical pain, but with perseverance you break through and get past the obstacle and previously blocked you. Flow is like using a gear on a terrain for which it is suited but when you meet a new terrain and you have no suitable gear, its time to learn you a new one.
I did this when training for my first marathon - in the last 2 months I quit sugars completely, and it's totally anecdotal but my endurance improved significantly. Case in point: my training partner was a friend who had run cross country for 10 years beginning in high school. He was also faster than me for the entire year of training, up to the very last month when I finished the marathon 20 minutes(!) ahead of him.
Probably also not the best to actually trust the data from other sources without verifying it yourself anyhow.

I am strongly in favor of drug legalization, because I am from Mexico. Drug traffic is ruinous for the Mexican economy, even if you didn't care ethically about the human cost of a >250,000 death toll in the last 10 years (the drug war in Mexico is, depending how you count, the 3rd or 4th deadliest armed conflict in the world today, after Syria, Iraq, and Afganistan[1]).

In purely economic terms, even though some money does flow into the country through the cartels, the lack of basic security caused by a weak state interacting with extraordinarily wealthy criminal organizations makes it very hard for industry to develop: investment doesn't want to come (and if it does, must hedge against extortion in its plans), there is a huge brain-drain of skilled talent, and no local wants to take any risk, specially not a business risk that might put them in the sight of organized crime. Mexico has some high-tech industry, and it has the potential to develop far more, but it is stunted by a climate of lack of human security and personal safety. Not all of it is because of the drug war (Mexico has a level of economic inequality that makes the divide in the US look quaint, and in practical terms is an incredibly young democracy, for example). Legalization in the US would not solve all of Mexico's problems, but it might give it enough breathing room to reverse what currently feels like a slow collapse...

> Despite the controversy, you can’t argue with that fact that this patent allows Amazon to provide a customer experience that is vastly superior to any other retailer in the U.S.

Sure I can. It's demonstrably worth nothing (anymore). I get the exact same experience from lots of vendors (Google Play?) and I don't think twice about it. The other vendors just don't brand it 1 click checkout. More importantly, online shopping is not about overcoming barriers, it's about trust and verification of what you are purchasing (and for how much). Amazon's ability to provide refunds and quality customer service is what makes it a good online vendor...not this hand-wavy "1-click" convenience that absolutely NOBODY talks or cares about when comparing to other services. This is clickbait for a large company who claims some small optimization is worth a ton. It's worth a ton to them, because of existing marketshare...but inherently? Nonsense.
For clarity's sake, they were hacked once and in separate instances had vulnerabilities reported to them by security researchers, which were then fixed.

Obviously not cross os, but might be good for bare metal stuff. I've gotten libraries in the past compiled with weird ABIs. This sounds really neat.
> She was offered a compliant Blackberry by Mull. http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/23/heres-everything-we-know-s....

Mull was the Executive Secretary of the State Department at the time he sent that email (two years after the NSA had denied Clinton's request). He was in no position to overrule the NSA and make that offer. At no point during Clinton's tenure were Blackberry devices authorized to access state.gov email servers. He was very likely referring to http://www.zdnet.com/article/nsa-wanted-hillary-clinton-to-u..., which was the only authorized device up to 2015 and was the device that the NSA offered (but not supported by State department infrastructure) http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/nsa-re....

I would suggest that, aside from at the boundaries of a system, if you find yourself requiring complex setup code then you should evaluate whether your abstractions are neatly decoupled and reduced to minimal necessary complexity.
I'd add, the mindset is similar to small startup culture in SV.

A question that seems related: what the heck is up with memristors? The Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memristor) says that memristors are estimated for commercial viability in 2018, and have been built in prototype, but also says that there are serious doubts about whether memristors can possibly exist in physical reality! What gives?

Maybe at some point we'll start seeing the point of building failure-resilient networks, but as long as there's money to be made in Facebooks and Netflixes and other walled gardens, we're just going to keep seeing these failures wipe us out.

You don't understand the difference between case law and statutory law. You are citing statutory law. The law as it stands is statutory law (how the law is written) amended by case law (how the courts have interpreted it). As I stated, case law as of Gorin v. United States invalidates the sections you cited and requires scienter.
10 years ago things were very much not normal in housing prices and 8 years ago a lot of people lost everything because they counted on prices increasing at way above historic norms. Much like you're doing here.
At any point over those 5-10 you can turn around and sell the property and collect the full gain - it's entirely irrelevant to the mortgage payments being dedicated to interest. My $1 gets my name on the title, your 90¢ gets your name on the lease. Think about what your net investment is. So maybe my maintainance/tax/interest costs equate to 50¢. I'm still investing 50¢ compared to your 10¢. Also, I get incredible leverage. Let'say my property costs $1 million. I'm controlling a $1 million investment vehicle with a $4k/month mortgage payment + tax/maintenance. That's incredible. My return on the property is driven from the $1 million basis, and I get to keep all of it despite not having much of an equity stake in the property.

Yeah, no, the US is definitely an outlier, building virtually any public infrastructure costs way more than it should. Tokyo can still build underground subway lines at 1/8th the cost:

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-04-08/why-u-s-i...

The answer why is complex, but the two big factors seem to be red tape, specifically that standards are overengineered and it takes forever to get approvals, and lack of experience and existing construction infrastructure, so instead of having a well-greased machine like Singapore's that churns out line after line in rapid succession, you need to ramp up and ramp down for every single project.

Rather than a renewal fee, why not basically just go all the way with "intellectual property", and start treating it as such? You can own it if you want, but please pay the property tax. Or you can always surrender it to the public domain, if the taxes get too onerous.

I'd even go one step further, and make it a progressive tax proportional to the duration the work has been copyrighted. Initial grace period of a few years is free, then a very modest rate, but after a couple of decades it starts to ramp up really high. If it's that valuable, you can keep paying it off the profits as long as you want.

Same thing with estates. Inheriting a copyright? Fine - but there's a tax on that (with the usual applicable caps etc).

And said tax receipts could be specifically allocated to, say, fund libraries, free public Internet, and other forms of storing and distributing information and works of art for the benefit of all.

I appreciate what you are saying, but noise looks like noise. Here's an example of a useful pattern: the blank line extending to the right from zero, corresponding to the numbers {n^2 | n in 1,2,3,...} and below it {n^2-1 | n in 1,2,3,...}.

Such a great example of a visualization helping to illuminate the abstract truths in numbers. Its obvious to most people that {n^2} contains no primes. Is it obvious that {n^2-1} doesnt't either?

Perhaps find better sources than Wikipedia? You can buy Memristors now, but it's going to be many many years before they get up to densities you'd expect in modern computing systems. (See sites like http://www.bioinspired.net/products-1.html or http://knowm.org/product/).
Does Linux have a comprehensive test suite (comparable eg. to SQLite)?
I'm wondering because it seems to be quite bug free, and is a large project, and a kernel seems to be quite suitable for unit testing (compared to your typical CRUD app for example).

I suspect there's not much formal testing (at least done or required by Linus, some external projects may be available).
So it seems that testing isn't that necessary for a quality project? On the other hand Linux has a large community so maybe that substitutes for a comprehensive test suite?
In 2017 commercial viability will probably be pushed back to 2019.

There is some debate about whether HP's chips are "true" memristors or just PCM, but ultimately that's irrelevant to customers as long as they store data.

The borrowing limits affect the timeline, but I'd be surprised if they affect the cost in any measurable way. Bond interest rates are so low for something like this that after adjustment for expected inflation they might as well be zero.

Above ground does matter. Grade separated still mostly works from a transit perspective, but there are other concerns: how they affect surface traffic, how they can be affected by marine traffic, etc. Underground is more expensive but still demanded for a reason, and we are still paying >2x per mile for above ground vs what Paris paid for underground lines.
Yup that's it. Me and other kernel devs have been toying with the idea for years, but google actually went out and did it, and documented it. They proved it was possible.

"There will be another supervolcano explosion," scientist James Quick, a geologist at Southern Methodist University in Texas, said in a statement when that volcano was found.

When this happens it is going to immediately change world climate to something very much colder than it is now. It suggests to me that some sort of preparation for surviving in very different climatic conditions than the one we currently experience would be a good investment in time and resources. That said, I'm not entirely sure how we might plan something like that.
(ActorDB developer here)

Most distributed newSQL databases are an SQL layer on top of a distributed KV store. What they try to do is hide the distributed reality of their database so it acts like a regular database from the client side. Of course there are always caveats that might not be completely obvious but can cause terrible performance.

We take the opposite approach. We make the user aware of the distributed nature and force the user to use the distributed database like a distributed database should be used. You must split your data into chunks (actors) and you have a full raft replicated SQL engine (SQLite) within that chunk.

I think TiDB is comparable more to CockroachDB.

What test suites generally show as coverage is called statement coverage. This only means that all the statements have been executed at least once by the test suite.

There are other types of coverages. Like branch coverage, which is more like what you've described. And path coverage. Path coverage tests that all independent paths are executed at least once but it's tedious and memory intensive to calculate and he hence impractical.

I'm a bit mystified how "Chinese restaurants" fits in to this list -- could someone explain? Did the author at some other point in time give up Chinese food for a month, or is he suggesting that Chinese food all has added sugar? (Personally, I can think of only a few Chinese dishes that typically have sugar added, and it's maybe a tablespoon at most for a dish that would serve 2-4 people.)
