I understand what it's used for, i just feel like there's a more elegant way to do it.
Wider availability of services for older people as a response to market pressures does not "move us in the direction of gerontocracy". The market "funnels people" towards elder care services by increasing the relative compensation for the field, and by making the jobs easier to obtain, which makes the jobs more attractive.
The weather, mostly. I grew up in Southern California, and moved to NorCal for college (and have been here ever since, so more than 1/2 my life now). Even the Bay Area gets a little too cold for me in the winter.

I love to visit the snow but most certainly don't want to live in it.

Pretty much the only place I'd consider moving to is San Diego, the only major California city I haven't lived in yet.
What to Know About Drinking Water
As a daily windows user I'd say the main problem is hidpi support. It can't do mixed dpi environments properly, which is the typical experience when you use a (hidpi) laptop combined with an external monitor. Microsoft blames this on legacy software, but even office doesn't work properly.

A secondary issue are forced updates breaking things, which i've had on two of my 4 windows laptops so far. Finally, the mess of legacy and new settings screens is annoying, but once setup it doesn't matter much, so it only affects the first-run experience.

Aside from those i think w10 is nice. I wouldn't mind replacing my mini with a windows machine, and if apple doesn't update it soon i probably will.

thanks for the great work and insightful comments! what are the top three things you would do if you could reform the patent system? and do you support/oppose abolishing patents for software (or any other kinds of products)?
>There seems to be a common fixation on objects "modeling the real world" with the counter argument for classes being that they don't model the real world.

I'm not sure why this is the case. Just the other day someone posted a link to a video about Abstract Algebra. In the video they defined "groups" that (to me) are synonymous with Classes in OOP.
Manhattan is just my home now - I love the convenience of everything, and the "always open" nature of this city. I've been here for 18 years now, and thankfully it's no longer just a place for financial or agency jobs when it comes to the tech sector. I'm far enough in my career where I can afford to live here and not really worry about much.

I know I can get a lot more for my money elsewhere, and being in a position where I manage remote employees, with some buying nice houses, it still isn't enough for me to give up the conveniences I am used to.

This also rules out the west coast tech hubs - I love visiting San Francisco, but I could never live there. I don't want to have to drive somewhere.
Actually....

While GPU is a MAJOR arbiter, CPU can bottleneck you too and it can hit you in the FPS. Years ago my gaming PC had inexplicably low FPS for the GPU it was using, and GPU utilization wasn't anywhere near 100% but CPU was... pop in a new chip+mobo and gaming was waaaay more enjoyable.

There are subtle differences in how bottlenecked GPU vs CPU acts in most games, but they're there.

Redneck is still a class slur, and is never/very rarely pointed toward anyone but white people.

If you can tie it to "I don't want to live near <x>," it is likely a slur of some sort.
Using Intel’s SGX to keep secrets even safer
That isn't a completely kind way to say it, but I get the sentiment.

I live in an area where seemingly intelligent people of all races occasionally mention that they think climate change is some sort of conspiracy and/or belief in evolution is a fad that will die out relatively soon. It's obviously not enough to get me to leave, but I really get why some people would have trouble dealing with that sort of thing.
There are plenty of online trading platforms. Just look for one with cheap ($5?) commissions and you can probably get your first trades for free.

There are some brokers that are free with some stipulations: https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/investing/free-stock-trading

> Rights may not, by definition, require taking from someone else.

That's a limited and by no means universally accepted definition of rights, often employed by libertarians, which conveniently aligns with the objectives of the ruling class in the US.

Funny, also, how in your mind "good wages" implies taking from someone (the "job creator"?), while lower wages don't take anything from anyone?
You just need to throw enough shit at the wall until it sticks. If you are only talking to 10 people a month, and you close a deal with 10% of them, that's 1 new client a month. Assuming you can maintain an ongoing relationship with each client, that could well be enough. In my experience it's better to have 3-5 continuous clients than it is to be finding a new one every week.

Beyond that, my advice:

- SPECIALIZE. Pick one skill that you are very good at (sounds like it's conversion optimization) and focus 100% of your energy on landing clients who need that skill. For you, conversion optimization is a particularly marketable skill because it has a direct 1:1 relationship with value you can provide. If you increase conversions by 1%, that has a real monetary gain associated with it. Set your prices based on this value.

- Sell yourself. You are a product. Convince your client why it is valuable to his business to hire you.

- Always be getting leads for new clients, even when you're working on a project for another. Close the deal and then worry about scheduling.

- Consider working at a "discount" for the first project with a client, or a differing pricing structure, then raise your rates. For example, I like to start projects with clients as fixed price, in order to build trust and a sense of my working pace. Then I move to daily rates.

- Join any slack groups and skype groups you come across. You can find some skype groups on internet marketing forums, and nomad list has a good slack group (thousands of entrepreneurs in it)

- Consider reaching out to consulting/freelance agencies and offering your help on any projects that require your specialist expertise. If a consulting shop is good at fullstack development, but not at conversion optimization, then that's an opportunity for you.

- Update your linkedin saying you are accepting clients and new work. Make a list of startup founders in your network, and get in touch with them via personalized emails describing how you can help.

Could you point out where he says this, please? (Dalio's rant is quite long, and I didn't see where this jumped out at first skim).
I started using F# at the end of 2016 and I'm excited to continue it through 2017.
Wow that's just stupid. This is a crappy workaround, but what happens if you enable display mirroring for your external display? It kills your dual display setup while watching, but it may enable HD streaming for you. I have not tested it, just a theory. YMMV.

One side of my family comes from a farming background, and I've been around working farms half my life, the impoverished near-subsistence type.

This product wouldn't be all that useful. The hard part of running a farm is knowing the local growing conditions, crops which work in these conditions, and then, the harrowing amount of work involved in getting the thing productive.

Drip irrigation is cool once set up, but it's not durable and you need to replace it frequently as it gets damaged, breaks down due to weather, some animal chews it, whatever. Their solar driven pump is indeed a labor saving device, but it's a low power low volume pump useful for drip irrigation. I can guarantee you that nobody's going to be supplying affordable drip irrigation gear in a poor area. However, given a well, a powerful irrigation pump would be a huge help, particularly if it can move enough volume to fill traditional irrigation ditches for the times drip tubing is unattainable.

The IoT metrics stuff isn't very useful. The sort of person who farms in the places targeted by this isn't very tech savvy, and what's more important than temperature and water delivery statistics is walking the field and inspecting for weeds and pests.

The shipping container could make a usable shed, but so would a traditional shed, usually made from scrounged, cheap, local materials.

If you want to help poor farmers, I would suggest the following
- A powerful irrigation pump, after helping to drill a well, solar driven is cool.
- A small ride-on type tractor built to be dead simple to fix and reliable with plowing, seeding, and harvesting attachments. This is the major work of running a farm. Bonus points if this thing doesn't require gasoline, but that would be prohibitively expensive in terms of solar and batteries, since duty cycle would be very high.
- Some kind of good, watertight and pest resistant grain storage containers, enough to store a few tons.
- A bunch of lessons in the local language teaching people how to maximize food production from minimal resources in a given part of the world. What crops, how to plant, weed, and harvest them, how to store the harvest.
- A bunch of fertilizer and pesticide. This will run out one day, so perhaps lessons on how to farm without it, but that drops production to like 1/4 of what's possible for a given unit of land. Modern high density farming requires a permanent supply of modern chemicals.

Now, A farm in a box is a cool idea, and the market may be affluent hobbyists, but this won't fix food shortage problems because the gear in it isn't particularly useful to a small farm, but also because food shortage problems are primarily political.
Kaspersky: Local CA root is incorrectly protected
Xeons are a little more confusing,

E3/E5/E7 (market segment + socket), the first digit is the socket configuration (2/4/8), the next 3 digits are a model number and the vX at the end is the CPU generation.

The Xeon E3-1220v2 in my ProLiant ML10 is a lower-end, single socket Xeon in a fairly high performance segment.

The Xeon E5-2403v2 in my ThinkServer TD340 is a mid-range, dual socket Xeon in a fairly low performance segment.

The fact that the 3 digit identifier has no relation to overall performance is the biggest shame in the Xeon chips, considering Intel does this with the Core i3/i5/i7 products.

OTOH, Xeon's can vary so wildly it's hard to give a tangible performance or configuration metric to the model identifier. Things like overall CPU cache, core count, clock speed, expansion support (namely, number of PCIe lanes) all vary so much that you really have no choice but to look at ARK since there's no way to convey this in a more efficient manner.
Is desktop a shrinking market or have we reach peak saturation? Desktops are very affordable (relatively speaking). The people who want one will get them. Processors are some of the least upgraded [citation needed] components of a desktop system, because there isn't a large incentive to get one. It's rarely the bottleneck of the system. As someone else has said, it's a mature market.

I recently upgraded from an '09 processor because my motherboard died. Trying to find a new one to fit the old chipset was rough, so I got a processor as well. I didn't need to get a new processor, because it wasn't the bottleneck. There are many instances where the new one will give me better results, but it wasn't so bad that I was hurting. Unless you have a specific need, upgrading for the sake of upgrading is largely wasted money.
I'm going to give this comment more consideration and reply than it probably deserves:

You'd be surprised how much crosses over between programming and various redneckery. Jankily slapping together an MVP on some shaky stack shares a lot with backyard cars, DIY home repair, and the like.

At the bottom, it's all learning and rearranging systems, using your mind to save you having to pay someone else to do it in a way that maybe doesn't match your vision.

It's all building shit. I'm in the finance industry by day, but I'm building furniture and ripping cars apart at night, and I can tell you - rednecks have a lot of shit figured out.
"That's not possible with the current chip offerings from Intel though. The Intel CPUs that fit the MBP form factor and other features APple needs only go up to 16 GB RAM."

That's entirely reversed. Your statement should read:

"That's entirely possible with the current chip offerings from Intel. However, it's not possible with Apple's requirements for form factor and power."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T

"The Model T had a front-mounted 177-cubic-inch (2.9 L) inline four-cylinder engine, producing 20 hp (15 kW), for a top speed of 40–45 mph (64–72 km/h)."

Being faster than horses isn't why cars won. Given the choice between a modern car and a hypothetical horse with the same or higher top speed, most people are still not going to choose the horse.
People don't spend all that much time outside and when they do, they wrap up well enough that you don't get very cold.

These hypothetical cold fat burning technqiues, that I've seen, suggest inducing very mild hypothermia (shivering). That only happens rarely in the north.
According on this: http://kyokojap.myweb.hinet.net/gpu_gflops/

There were multiple factors of improvements in speed in the GPU inside last few generation of Intel CPU.

Unfortunately, folks who care about GPU performance likely use real graph card in their system.

I was involved in exploring using Bitcoin in online tournament payouts for various arcade games and board games and spoke with an experienced lawyer.

The US is a patchwork of state laws on gambling, payout structures, differing definition of game, chance, whether it is a lottery, whether it's considered fair, etc etc, the conditions are a dense briar and at any time any attroney general of any of the states can decide you're in violation of state law and ruin your life.

Be extremely careful, do not attach your real name to this project, or be sure to never step foot in the US, the laws this is violating can easily land you in prison for decades.
im in a smaller city, if it can even be called that, in the UK, im still here because there isnt really anywhere in the UK i particularly like so i see little point in moving to another city and i lack the funds to leave the country and move where i would like to be.

I second what some other people say... my friends and family are here. I have also made it a point to be active in the community and the community is here too.

With that said, I already live in a second tier city (second largest city in my State with only 90,000 people in the city) that happens to be a 60 minute drive to the largest city in the region.

Words mean things, and the word "treason" in particular is, alone among offenses, defined in the body of the Constitution. There's no circumstance in which Comey's actions could be "treasonous", even if they were done in bad faith.
Yes, large parts of "west" are not "pro-west". Moreover, even most liberal liberals will use utilitarian philosophy in case of war or war-like situation. Usually, it takes about 3 years of war to convert a liberal country back to utilitarian. It's why USA and Britain bombed Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, which is a war crime, — because they are engaged in war for more than 3 years.

Liberal philosophy is luxury. NATO allowed to liberal countries to rise. Without NATO, a war with a strong neighborhood will quickly kick out any liberal minds from heads of people of a west country.

Liberal philosophy can be represented in mathematical logic by simple algorithm in a simple game. Game rules: player can make bad(+1,-1), e.g. war, neutral (0,0) or good (+1,+1), e.g. cooperation, moves. Optimal strategy: do a single good move to player neighborhood(s) and then copy their behavior, AKA "pay it forward". It's proven that this algorithm is optimal for growth when all players have equal size and power. For game with unequal players or when group dynamic is allowed (e.g alliances), it's good (not an optimal, because group dynamic is Turing complete, so it's impossible to prove that an algorithm is optimal) only for biggest and most powerful players, otherwise liberal algorithm will make the player to be the most valuable target very quickly. So, to win as liberal, player must be big and powerful, like USA, or be member of large defense alliance, like NATO. If you are liberal and you are nor USA nor in NATO, you are target (e.g. Kuwait - Iraq, Taiwan - China) and your life will be short, unless you will convert your country to utilitarian dictatorship or will create a mix of two, like in Israel, which is unstable.

Finding, evaluating, and renting/purchasing real-estate is extremely difficult, and the current market makes concurrent evaluation basically impossible. This is similar to the job interview problem. Some move faster than others, and you end up having to either cut options early, or let good options expire. The situation is very "bird in the hand".
Agreed but no response to the rest of that though? Haha :)

The article is a little light on detail of how those high profits come to be. Is it maximizing the amount of produce you can grow, or is it choosing the highest-margin produce, or is it something you do on the sales or marketing side? Is it some combination of these things? Where does most of the margin come from?
Then what's "corrosive" is the loss of jobs. Please leave older people out of it.

Of course its not working anymore. Intel has been using the same marketing strategy for roughly 7 years now.

Intel's marketing is due for an update. But for these past seven years, the "Decoy Pricing" of i3 vs i5 vs i7 has upgraded tons of users to i5s without those users fully appreciating the benefits of i3 vs i5 vs i7.

Its rather difficult for me to explain the difference between all three chips, and my uncles / aunts often just settle on i5... or even i7 "just in case".

Trust me on this: the decoy pricing has worked this past half-decade. That the marketing has gotten stale over the course of seven YEARS is no surprise... but how many other systems have had the same freaking name for seven years at a time?

I get what you're saying, but I'm originally from the Great Lakes area – and boy – I feel like rubbish when I hear this type of talk. It feels like "reverse bigotry", to me. (I know, I shouldn't take it personally. But it still hurts. It's much more diverse than people outside realize.)
I don't dismiss them, I just don't think they tell us anything we don't already know. You have to eat a reasonable amount of calories and you have to exercise. No one gets a pass. All the research in the world is not going to change this.

Most of my life was spent in Tucson, Arizona. I don't have the same fears of living outside the "it" city, but let it be said that a large problem in Tucson was that there were only so many places to work. That will be a problem in Boise, because relocating two people for a job is much harder than relocating one.
